My heart once fluttered,
Now stone cold to touch...

Disdain scratches at the door,
Terrified voices, hidden, HUSH...

(I never truly understood why I wrote this poem...

From my window seat looking out,
Natures beauty takes my breath...

Music casts a soft lullaby,
Children dance round and round...

With but a penny to show love,
Hearts beat stronger than ever...

Embers burn with malicious intent
the ashes spread a heavy blanket...

Waves of ice aged glaciers,
erodes the roof of the world...

Perforated lines scatter across my life
threatening it's very foundation...

I rummage through my closet
find a story, it opens at last...
