I am a child of light and love
Stuck in a rut of emotional stuff
Drowning deeply in the darkness I see
The pain that infected me
The rage that was enacted upon
My innocent form
The violence that continues
The ignorance that persist
Sees my sorrows deepen
Caverns open ready to swallow me

Yet I aspire to be of love
To speak love
To act love
To be kind
And gentle

A rose without a thorn
Despite the storm
I am the fluid form
Only fulfilled by acts of kindness
Though life rejects this heart
I yearn for the light
While I create in the dark

I am transient, a river
Water flowing against the stream
My schemes are dreams
That see me separated
See me dashed upon the rocks
That wear the shore
And still I charge asking for more
And still I rise to love once more
Till I evaporate alone
A Smokey mist of love
