for all those who are hurting...
souls troubled, in turmoil.
for those in need,
those left alone...
...
there are more stars
in the sky than we can name.
more drops of water in the ocean
than we can count...
...
if there were no darkness,
we would never find the stars!
if there were no waves,
the moon would be powerless.
...
dawn creeping
o'er the mountains,
and through bare limbed trees....
...
i felt the bullet
as your body fell,
the sickening gasp of light
...
the day i changed
my last name to 'gives a damn',
that's when the trouble began!
...
i searched for holiness...
and found you,
vulnerable, wrapped
...
kindness...
the fruit of the pain
of years of abuse,
...
a prayer,
a moment of silence,
and heartfelt tears....
...
