On a sunny afternoon when
rain pours on my wooden deck
sometimes at dusk when I drive
as the evening lights begin to glimmer
...
Smile
My child
See through those twinkling eyes
Just feel what I already know
...
met someone
With feet that dance after crossing a burning terrain
Blisters unseen by many eyes
A distant gleam of sorrow escapes when the saga of her bygone days surface
...
