down a road
of unspoken mystic
travel to the edge
of the world
with your hand
in mine
cheat and lie
see what may come
a woman gets stabbed
by a mugger who wants
to only acquire enough money
to feel his children who
get above average grades
in most all of their classes
thanks to their tutor who
volunteers at their school
every Wednesday after school
in the library which is
overseen by the librarian
who spends most of her
time hidden behind a
book recommended to her
by her friend who
is an editor for
the local paper that
only had the position of nights
which was taken by her
because it was within
walking distance to
her apartment
weigh your life on a
thread and hang it from
the higher meanings
does the string break
does it fall
released in
the form
of an
uttered word
hands smell of death
colored by the blood
that once brought life
water does no good for
it is deeper that
what is seen
temperatures plummeting
ice caps expanding
what have you done
where were you
why can one
not understand
the meaning
of the words
that flow
from the mouths
of those
who care
is a scratching
it grows louder
as you make
the choice
to get closer
the tears we cry
only shows how
we cannot manage
the pain that we
as humans have
to endure everyday
the torment that we
put up with during
our lives shouldn't
be the reason to end
the once acclaimed
Golden Era that we
once lived in
cold sharp pains
begining to linger
as the moments
that make up
time begin
to pass
broken body lying in a bed
staring blankly at the wall
what has become of them
shall they continue or cease to be
they can be the only ones
that have the power to choose
on the world and
wait for another
day a stronger day
those that have spoken
of thought their minds
drawn close to that
of the open sky
out there
can you see them
they ride forever closer
to those who notice
will you dance with me
in the wind while
the moon watches
we shall let the
grasses create such
music in the
hours of darkness
