The Dedpoet Aug 2016
Glorious suffering,
Born among the mysterious poor,
Shredding darkness with tiny
Bits of light that illuminate minutes,
The crests of moments, colorful,
Spreading across a grateful soul,
A manifestation of grace in poverty,
Streets of the nocturnal
that disperse into industrial days
Where they sweat the blood
And honor their young,
The poor have secret places
Gathering in the heart,
A rhythmic harmony in the simplicity,
They hear the birds,
Embrace the wind
And kiss the sorrows goodnight.
The poor are the strongest of humanity.
To suffer is to grow.

lord
you gave me
these
butterfly wings
now
i can
taste
the sky
i
want to fly
i
want to sing
yes i'm
in love with the sky
I witnessed a carousel of twinkling lights
Songs of nature filled the clear August night
Wet grass cooled each step
Two stars fell from the midnight HeavenĀ , I made two wishes for Mary Ellen* .....
