Upon the face
a few wrinkles that
last for a bit
upon the corner of a smile
The smile that
whispers a quick hello
at the sun making
the day so splended
When we fall over
ourselves to see
how blue the sky
can be, even now
As the tears gently
trip our hearts
confusion, madness
the slight sense of wonder
By all acounts
we should fall down
on our knees and
bless the ground
But why? Why fall?
To look around at
one another, to hold
onto hope and love
To fail to give
into fear that pushes
you over the last edge
of emptiness
To sing to the
sun, letting its
healing burn replace
the heat behind you
To say your goodbye's,
to those you love
those who called you freind,
and those that came before
To walk the final step
letting the wind capture you,
as you dance with the
stranger, holding your hand
Letting your freedom stand.
