Tell me

How many grains of sand it takes
To soak the blood of your wounds?

Ten thousand thousand?
More?

Why would you bleed here
And mar this desert floor
With vitriolic leavings
Of some wrong
Or your right?

You and I shall die

Soon enough it seems
But I wonder,
Who will be here to cry?

Perhaps,
  We should stab each the heart
Of ourselves and lie here together
Knowing no one will sow seed
Where we have defiled

I would see this land empty then,
And our children’s children
Lying beside our memories
As dead as we

As dead as your father and mine

Should I count the grains it takes
To absorb them as well
Or should we both be content
That for heaven’s sake
We created hell?

you are implanted in my head today.

where oh where did this one come from? strong, haunting, felt like time passing, into another life.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

(big hugggsssssss) With too much blood cried from many's eyes, it would be inconclusive to measure it all as it soaks deeper and thicker into the ground! (sad sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, ah, there comes the train now, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
