The smile of enlightenment
this foreclosure from yesterday
An emotional embrace
to stand at midnight

Yet where was tomorrow
her place of comfort to insure
That cheer in friendship
masked within eyes of delight

Was she a reality
or a misunderstanding
In her own essence to life
maybe that was the mystery

High upon hills
their richness in supplication
Of a mourning prayer given
in adoration for her existence


“A FALSE balance is abomination to the LORD:
but a just weight is his delight.”
Proverbs 11: 1 KJV
