drinks with friends,
                   drives,

buried guilty...

sleepless nights
          children scream

nightmares reality

family lovingly
               surround
            
eyes see strangers.

Poverty engulfed
  
             A wick burns

**Homelessness

Sinks like a stone,

           floating face-down...

Whispers fall on the garden of eternity,
where eyes blossom gazing forth into nothing .

Petals  kiss with lips of pollen into the void,
sunny days extinct within a breath of moments.

Cute were the last cries of luminosity echoing intimately  
as they surrendered, like raindrops in the gardens of eternity.

We never crack,

But are more roads on a journey,
that join,  memories of what never fell
                                     but stayed together..

Cracked but always whole... always be strong...
