thewayoftheworld

Strong winds

were never enough

to send you off course

you became

straight ahead

this bad idea

of nothing left to lose

packed bags

frayed strings

barely holding things

together.

You arranged flowers

for your shadow

never seen again

mourned by the desperate

last minute men

in dark smokey hours

who consoled you

I told you

so.

How can something so simple

so difficult

as beautiful

bloom

from the hard ground

you walk all over?
