breezy angel steps
is there hope?
I would not know
for old life has parted,
with locks of hair to keep
watery eyes ancient before their rightful time
what is hope?
I would not know
for you can no longer run over the green grass
in breezy angel steps
floating, gliding over
where is hope?
I would not know
for smiles have left this shade of life
forgotten in a darkened pool
where light no longer shines
can I hope?
I would not know
for the timeless wind refuses to speak to me
it does not grant that honor,
it is not mine to have
but you, you are worthy with spindly legs and shattered nerves
you do hope
for you have gone ahead of all your time
nothing more has little meaning,
you have a life to live
