I was looking in a window
\nwhen a dark star engulfed me,
\na dam broke in my soul
\nand the tide covered up my eyes.
\nA dream led to a large harbor,
\nand boats were leaving.
\nThe wind blew cold inside me.
\nDeath is a terrible birth.
\nSaying good-by,
\nthe deepest grief.
\nFlying with a wing suddenly broken,
\nand the sky lost forever.
\nA mother across the way is dying.
\nA family has nowhere to go.<\/p>\n
Geraniums in front of my house
\nlast for the summer,
\nwith nothing to replace them,
\nthe cost of living,
\nfor coming together,
\nfor daring an inevitable fate.
\nI have no solution to this.
\nI pray,
\nknock on wood,
\nargue with myself,
\nand value life for love.
\nI treasure every second
\nwith my loved ones.
\nI do not waste time.
\nThe woman across the way
\nis dying.
\nI\u2019m picking geraniums for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
