IN FAITH I HOPE
Unspoken words
And daunting looks
Silently tears
Fall
As life upon life
Is forever lost...
The earth breathes
In dire desperation...
The streets
Are crowded with
Emptiness...
Springs blooms
But does anyone care?
The sky looms
Azure overhead
And birds sing
Who is it that is
Listening?
From within
A fish bowl
We look out
For our own
Sake and for
The ones
We love...
With every breath
We must be grateful
To be alive
Though we miss
Our neighbors...
When shall we
See and embrace
Without fear
See the other's face...
Without reserve
Hold hands and kiss?
Yet some
Wilj cling to
Old animosity
Pointlwssly!
The world sighs
And slowly dies
In Faith I hope
The world
Does survive...!
