Heidi Sands Poet Kimo

Cracks In the Facade

In hardened bricks, their wall of denial,
lie the cracks in the façade
The water of truth drips

Leaking slowly for everyone to see,
Initiating anger
Thunderous clouds, with booms

Then from the black sky, falls the cleansing rain
Rivers of tears in valleys
Rainbows of forgiveness

Heidi Sands
