Temptation to reach out
and touch his pain
to ease his worries
with all that I have.

But I am broken too.
And maybe I need someone
Just like you do.

She gazes up at the sky through the car window wanting nothing but to disappear
she is overwhelmed with sadness
her sadness is hidden
she wears a mask of makeup and a smile

n.a.

the religious believe
that life is a desert
you crawl through
with the blistering sun on your back
until you reach the fresh sea

the atheists believe
that life is an ocean
of natural spirals and forms
that eventually drains out
into dark sands
