how close the distant mountain how bright the child's eyes how beautiful the sunset just before its demise when cold descends on summer she pays a chilling cost she begs, she pleads she fights, she bleeds but her innocence is lost how grey the world of color how silent is the noise how lonely the front runner once dreams are destroyed when warmth melts through the winter sun lights up her day she hopes, she feels she prays, she heals yet - the pain won't go away... -------------------------------------------- HeartBeats --Michael Brenner Accesses: 158 |
