Curtains
drawn
try
to keep
out
the
Light
of
day
and
night
in
my
mind
as
the
cold
seeps
and
slows
all,
pulling
me
deeper
and
deeper
until
I
break

Listening
As the still
Wind blows;
Searching
And
Searching
For
The moment;
Finding
It
Distant
And veiled.

Vision
of white
dances
In my mind;
The good
girl
on the side
now laughs,
Loves
Is loved
And lives
forever
the woman
In my heart.

Ebony
Eyes glowing
In the
Dark
With
a soul
Brighter
than noonday
A family
filled
And
Ebony skin
at home
forever.

Empty
Spaces
And faded
Memories.
The
Only recollection
Is
What
Is
heard from
Strangers.

Slowly
The eyes
Move
Across
The heart,
Back
And forth
Until
A decision.
And then
The eyes
close.

The
Sun
grazes
the
brown
hilltops
And
the
blue
sky
is
interrupted
by
the unnatural
sounds
of
a
bouncing
ball
bouncing
where
no one
plays
and
the spirit
is
dampened

Dirty
faces
in a
fortress
surrounded
by dirty
faces
on the
perimeter
streets
both
yearning
for peace.

Tired,
Overweight
And angry.
Life gives
Us
A full
Measure
And we
Spill
Our cups
Again
and
Again.

The
glasses
are
full
and
raised
with
heroes
absent
and
others
present;
drinking,
remembering
and
forgetting;
carrying
on
’till
others
raise
their
glasses
for
them
