With grace she said
It burns like a leaf once green now dead
My pen to zen
Like a solo bird chirping through the night
Over and over inside the fight
With grace she said.
Ovals of a tree grown
Now cut down
To be made anew
Never wished for but saw the clues
With grace she said
Stretching through the mind
Searching for “the one” many say you’ll find
Heart still beating
Destined to become a memory fleeting
With grace she said
But what of the dealing
If color was a feeling
It would be black and blue
A stranger now, what a fool
With grace she said
Questions unanswered
Ghosted, the white lily never mattered
Crushed pages of a book
The whole world it shook
With grace she said
The path up the mountain is not easy
Language used just to please she
Penguins, two doves
Red hot lava, rise above
With grace she said
Walk the path
Try and run it won’t last
An ocean deep
Disturbing even the most peaceful sleep
With grace she said
For a future big made of laws
Never thinking about the calls
Look inside
Through seeping salty eyes, she tried and tried
With grace she said
The raven left with the message
For nowhere it was destined
Cold ice unfreezes
When the new spark seizes
With grace she said
Work through
