spinning
by Mary Frances Spencerthe dire the drastic
closing in
dragon breath
hanging in those burning clouds
where are you
soul lost under
survival
minds hypnotized
grudges owed
and money
squandered
can there be
light breaking through shadows
hands that piece together
hearts
eyes to find the missing
or are we
destined to go down
ships burning
lost in
the spin

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 10/10/08 at 06:55 PM Oh yes, it feels like that, eh? But, you've given it depth here, now it means something attached as you've made it to each of us. Delighted. Thanks. |
