Life is
but a tear-drop
clinging
briefly
to a smile
In community lies strength of numbers.
to support the sick and the weak.
In community somebody hears me,
with louder voices to speak
...
When I’m gone, I will be
quiet as a mouse;
My scent upon the pillow still,
But I will have left the house.
...
What's expected of this thing called hope;
is it a medicine; is it just smoke?
Merely a screen - perhaps a misty haze,
to sweeten our journey around life's maze?
