An author's power
Touched on in the past
Capable of hurting or healing
Of breaking us like glass
An author's gift
Of format and text
It's always hard to say
If they've been cursed or blessed
An author's choice
To craft sweet or sour
Crushing or lifting
Taking or gifting
Words like a rainshower
Wetting my eyes
An author's quest
A story to tell
Giving their best
An author's end
Poor or rich
Known or obscure
Still never better than the rest
Do we all or deserve better?
Do they deserve richer?
An author's life
riddled with grief
with rich, with poor, with worry, with glee
Is there hope for their future? a glimmer of happy ever after?
I suppose
One day,
We'll see
A short poem regarding the life of someone close to me.
