A glimpse is seen beyond the black enough to know that life exists in the presence of company displaying more than a well wish a passing hope with that breach opportunity to view kindness however tricky it may be to stop the fall none wish to see a strong desire lurks within walking high on a tightrope to cut the ties that hold them here plunge the soul into the pit with small concern for what’s next when the present is only pain eschewing views of other folk struggling on the high wire this view that few would admit even as the path is packed by the quiet inside their shells wearing masks for normal kin ‘move along’ is the request lest the secret is spoken of then replied with saccharine or harsh regard to buck on up turn away from this tone instead embrace with kind regard allowing for the sadness found a lifetime’s worth to be dispelled all’s not lost while breath moves this requires the brave friends to light the candle against the dark encourage shift beyond the black. © 2018.
