Anne Lacy

Yellow cactus
Fresh with thorns
Let me tell you how it was born
You see what once was
...

Would you guess
A simple hug
A caring word
To show you still believe in her
...

To face her sunlight hours
She will need
More than her own strength can give
So carry her
...

Let us view
The world
As she sees it
A little girl
...

I died to live
So did you?
Then join me
In this fight against the odds
...

Listen
Take time to hear
What others say
It might just be important
...

I am watching you
I see you begin to fade
Your once bright light
Is growing dim
...

One more day
That is all you’ll say
You cry and scream at the light
I think I’ve finally seen
...

The leaves
They begin to change
Just as you did
From laughter as it used to be
...

Close your eyes
Feel the touch
Of heaven coming down
Today
...

The darkness was her drapery
The shadows were her friends
The moon, a splendid playmate
That cast silver for her tread.
...

Did you love me?
I wonder if you did
I long for just one more day
To talk about all the thoughts
...

She screams
She sighs
She lies
About herself
...

Listen
Do not speak
Just listen
And maybe
...

Cry
Weep
Tears
Let them flow
...

Do you love me?
Because I love you.
Have I ever told you so?
I see that I have not
...

Look at that girl
Staring at you
She appears to not see you
Yes, that is true
...

Rain surrounds you
It kisses your cheeks
And you imagine
The rain
...

Born away
To another place
Carried by a breeze
That gently caressed
...

Where do stories go?
To the wind, the rain, a soul
That needed inspiration
To keep on going
...
