A View From The EastAn eerie ice creepsslowly over majestic hills sneaking down on an unsuspecting valley the winds sweep over barren soils dust dances in circles clearing the surface in preparation the sun is strangled from existence clouds turn the sky black a primeval scream goes up as cotton falls like feathers to blanket God's creation | Teach Me HowTake my handlet me lead you to my heart beyond the protective walls (built of fear, anxiety, loss, betrayal) to warmth unknown enveloping every sense and curve holding you close never letting go tear down my defenses help me feel experience all love has to offer teach me how | Stolen MomentsMen were takenlives put on hold years unaccounted for events changing the world births and deaths walls crumbling wars beginning and ending tears shed never forgotten yellow ribbons and prayers excitement building disappointment destroying prayers and hope one day returning joy over flowing words not needed. |
