Chelsea Poem by Marijke McKinney

Time only reveals
Discernible truths
And covers what never was
And the end will finally be what is
Because all the in between changes
So don’t be sad, for when happiness comes
What a waste of yourself was stirred between
So embrace the void stretched to your smiles
Because they will come, and I’ll sink with you
Until you reach the sun

Things can’t be perfect all the time
It leaves more for our souls to find
Things can’t be perfect all the time
Sip your tea, drink your wine
Stumble down to the achy tress he grew
They seemed permanently etched, dead with little breaths
But this I promise you
Don’t be sad, for when happiness comes
What a waste of yourself was stirred between
So embrace the void stretched to your smiles
Because they will come, and I’ll sink with you
Until you reach the sun
Silk heart, velvet blue eyes, strong dandelion
Silk heart, velvet blue eyes, admired friend of mine.
