Excelsior

Praying now or burning books
Its the same mistake, with 
different looks.
A drop of blood on a white sand 
beach,
Glistening ruby red down her 
cheeks.
Waves crash in to take the 
pain,
Only bringing midnights rain.
With showers of silver that roll 
off the clouds,
a future is lost, in the graying 
sounds
