Hydrangeas

like hydrangeas,
you must allow yourself to bleed.
to fade from one truth
to another like from
blue to purple to pink.
Do be sure all passengers are comfortable
Human and not quite human alike

Don't ask non-human passengers to be in charge of the map
Those from the sea especially

Do try to entertain your passengers
Your idiocy will surely do

Don't act suspiciously when trying to avoid checkpoints and borders
Police officers are not stupid

Do make sure your passengers are well cared for and given everything they need
Even the comatose ones

Don't. Ever. Stop. Driving.

Do hope you get there in time
Dead from 8-4
Fingers sore
Weak core
Faxing war
Still poor
Nothing more

Out the door.
I know the pain you feel is deep,
your want from life is simple peace.
And though I cannot guarantee,
please listen closely, as I speak.

Presently you stroll alone,
searching for a hand to hold.
You feel your sorrow in your bones,
in harshest sun, you still feel cold.

Pre - dawn, however, is darkest night
that must be followed by morning light.
I pray you won't give up the fight,
the universe will set things right.

I know at times, it seems unclear
that happiness is always near.
But wholly I believe my dear,
someday soon, you'll find some cheer.
