Wondering aloud
If the empty streets that you walk alone
Will ever hold again voices and laughter
The walls
Are now filled with flags dividing us and them
They always failed to keep from fear and hunger
Praying aloud for salvation
When you know no god will hear
Rubbing your eyes
But the visions refuse to disappear
The sun
Made some flowers bloom
Between the concrete squares
And for a while you feel a little warmer
Don't stop
Until you're tired enough and your body hurts
And maybe you can sleep a little longer
And time runs in a funny way
Where past conquers today.
And words that were so revealing once
Are now full of emptiness.
I wish that you could stay a little longer
How0 I miss living life big again!
