I scroll
My fingers disconnected
As my mind reads,
And yet
Does not comprehend
Cease-fire?
My heart leaps
But the words after bring my spirit
Down
Tenuous
It won’t last
How can something
As beautiful, as
Life saving
As a Cease-fire
Cause this disarray
This fear
I scroll
I will not live
In a shadow
Of Cease-fires
Posted in response to the challenge Cease-Fire.
Exhaustion
Like a blanket
It makes it hard to stand straight
Or say what I believe
It gets you sick
With mistaken beliefs
Because your courage to fight them has gone with your energy
On these days
I look back,
Watching those sunsets
When I knew I was mine
And I knew I could be
Anyone I wanted
Before innocence gave way
To planning
Lights flash
Red white and blue
The colors of the country
That I used to love
Before
They started
Tearing apart families
