Searching for some hope

The butterfly is cocooned

Anticipation

*

Some people just take

They soak you all up, bone dry

And keep failing you

*

A knife in the heart

Pain radiates, leaking out

How can this be life?

*

The sun nourishes

Recalibrating us all

It feels good to feel

*

Failing to find speech

Trapped inside, my mouth covered

The mind allows this

*

Plummeting to Earth

From its celestial throne

Fading to nothing

*

Put me in a box

Secure the lid best you can

She will still find me

*

This was supposed to be the day for my second part of an American Immigrant story. Life sometimes gets in the way. We had an injured pup to take care of over the weekend (she’s fine now) and I’ve decided to push the story another week.

But wait…there’s more!

(It’s just a haiku)

*

Alone and afraid

The trek, only part of it

Hate still awaits them

*

They come for it all

You waver but still hold true

Bronzed for the ages

*

Running, frolicking

Soaking it all in and more

Endless, joyful days

*
