I WILL SURVIVE

Icy water surrounds me.

The cold pulls me deep.

Into the unknown, I sink.

Waves tear at me.

I hold my head

above the water.

I will survive.

FLY

 

Flap your pretty wings

as the bluebird sings.

Prepare to take flight.

Fly with all your might.

Soar through the turquoise sky.

You can never reach too high.

Fly,

Pretty butterfly.

Fly.

A LEAP OF FAITH

 

 

A LEAP OF FAITH

Take a leap with me.

A leap of faith into the unknown.

Whom can you trust?

Is there anyone you can trust 

with your life?

A hard question to ask,

And an even harder one to answer.

BEFORE

 

The skyline was beautiful before.

Hope was present before.

Brotherhood was keenly felt before.

Life was pure and simple.

Death wasn’t an everyday concern.

Before.

IN YOUR ARMS

 

 

Take me in your arms

as your darkness surrounds me.

Bring me to the outer limits

of your hope and despair.

Delight me with your cold depths,

waiting in the wetness beyond.

WALK INTO THE NIGHT

 

 

Walls surround me,

but I see past them.

Concrete blocks me,

but I tunnel through.

The stars sparkle.

The moon shines.

I raise my arm.

Walls disappear.

I walk into the night.

A DEAFENING SILENCE

 

 

Desolate.

Alone.

Empty.

No neighbors.

The wind rattles my walls.

Snow layers my roof.

No peace.

Cold.

Icicles hang low.

A deafening silence.

Will winter end?

Will the horses return?

I wait and hope.
