That’s burning your cheeks
Or the icy wind that turns your skin bone dry
There’s nothing you can do
When winter’s reached its peak
You’ll get used to it by and by
Don’t think about your sorrows
When your world falls apart
You couldn’t change it even if

Then they make you take a job
Where each paycheck’s one more roll of the dice
Best treat your bosses kindly
Or they’ll surely put you out
And you know they won’t think about it twice
All of life‘s a gamble it’s a wicked game of chance
But

Stark white eyes bulge from little black faces
Sharply outlined orbs of milk
And Haitian children seem to ask
Why
Are
You
Here
Now?
Sooty charcoal coats their hair
Taupe grit sticks thick on every crevice every indent on every body
Swollen stomachs with anxious teeth perched inside
Still waiting

My fate was sensed as a youth
the ways ot the world:
of sin
of starvation
of poverty.
I grew into an awakening
to dedication for:
the poor
the hopeless
the starving.
Always striving

Listen close for the answer lies
in the heart
and the mind
the pleas of the sun when it hides
out amongst the starry skies
horizons of clouds
a melancholy sight
Through this disguise
the truth you will find.
Then come back to me
and tell me no lies.

The honest poor are like the surface of the earth the firm foundation on which cornerstones

He put me small into the ground
Tiny imperfect strong and round
Beneath I burrowed until I was gone
To escape the hunger of a wandering fawn
I waited and waited for the rain to come
Finally! I said can I have some?
I felt it surround me

The day you walked into my life i knew you were the one and even though you caused me so much pain I still had so much fun.
Your love cut my skin like a piece of glass and even though the blood has stopped I'm still waiting for the pain to pass.

I'm all alone no one there when I get in all by myself no one to ask me how I've been it feels so empty my voice echoes off the wall It's so cold it is Spring but it feels like Fall.
I should be strong it's not like you've gone away

I cast to the sea all the forgotten yarns
of history unraveled
lay spread on the bottom seabed.
Sandglass footprints of who
he was sunk along the shore
billions of stars etch the pebbles
that went footloose.
The fishermen yachts ten
