Silver lining—
I am trying,
in love and despair,
to find you.
Reds, blues, heavy-anchors,
every which way…
I look, see a resemblance,
a flicker-beautiful, eyes, calling to –
yesterday’s:
confidence in motivation.
trust in a means to an end.
The universe, time,
tick-tock… mocking!
Climbing.
Fighting.
Lies.
Exhaustion.
The day comes with its bread and water,
its sun, molding vertical lines,
invisible, free-air, mind trapped inside.
Dare not speak the truth…
that it might find me,
once willing—unprepared.
In the pain I am with you,
razor-sharp reality,
creating colors that do not fade
impervious mysteries,
but that hold onto a heart.
There… its fragility,
saves the God inside us.
