ere is too



slight
of human

the simmering merge
we nape of ruin
like sapling rustle
come first hot days
of season new

firelight sparkles
on the water

like flints
chipped from
artisan

my words can be
crafted
slow

tuff slough
crumbling

there is so much
that I cannot say
but to listen
and it will
be heard

We are all
made by the
same

Thank you JayCee

we are faulted to be faulted but Im learning not to take it out on all others and point blame such a waste of potential when one dwells in negative terms Im now myself trying to write positive which for the greater seems to find the appreciation that I want to foster encouragement I still snarl from time to time but its to recover not cover in that mask a challenge and why not my life is not over it may from what I have left be just beginning Peace out! Esker~
