Dangerous Dare



You said “Leave”
And the word echoed in a million different ways
Hammering and piercing
And cutting through the quarrel and war

My mouth stopped short
My own words hanging dry
My arms still in the silence
I felt I had not heard you right

Priorities


PRIORITIES

People move to the beat
Of days flowing by
Never wondering if just maybe
They could be truly happy.

New Day

    
Peaceful is my mind.
Content is my heart.
I have a deeper inner feeling,
For where I am to start.

I pray for this feeling
To last all of my days;
And when night time comes around
To feel the exact same way.
