More Than
More scared than faith
heaven can wait.
Goosebumps more
than Braille
Every tale of less than
proves we're blinded
by more than
socio-economic design
when we recite
Jay's on my feet
and quit school
cause of Shakespeare.
Certain that orbits
eventually falter;
the course we're
meant for
sometimes alters
Brimstone and sin
is where confusion
begins.
Took awhile, but
love seeped in
Peace came and went
left us spent albeit
understanding
how fear was maiming.
One drop sent
a chilly ripple
through limps
we thought were there,
so when we stepped out
on faith,
a nurse kept us
from falling
on our faces.
We're recovering
from PTSD and
every acronym.
More embarrassed
than anything
to foolish to say
a thing.
Pride vs. bravado
hearts more or less hollow
A father's tail
a child bound to follow
Hallowed be thy name
A boy swallows
as if standing on top a
skyscraper ledge.
Taking a step
the crowd at Ground
Zero, gasps and says, "NO."
Hands up lifted
momentum shifted
More fall than wind
more fear let in,
Wings outstretched
Catch air and raises
No fear, just praises.
Love starts falling
Uncovering a calling
more electric
than lighting.
Frightening
what appears,
when pen
is uninhibited
and flirts
around her name
