spirit

press snooze for the day.
let us see how time stands still.
grenadier guards stand.

when the small are lost
even the strongest are weak.
the link stays broken.

upheaval’s degree
turned all the way to hotter.
cooks in the kitchen.

to start all over.
to step back and recollect.
look back in anger.

i read between lines
thoughts from great philosophers.
and still they are dead.

a sliver of hope
can burn into forever.
kindled in the heart.
