spirit

the true way forward
is on the road of kindness
as love’s companion.

the children’s voices
dance and sing frothy bubbles.
death of innocence.

the face of false friends
with smiles of indifference.
world’s navel gazers.

the beginning starts
after many more endings.
walking through the doors.

in small increments
the ant climbs ladders to god.
my lips to his ears.

a moment of hope
as i crest upon blue skies.
sharp rocks on each side.
