North Carolina Morning

Troubled with the weary world and all the things that plague a girl She stole a star-embedded sky to turn her halfway right The peaceful morning brings its light to hungry squirrels and cardinals bright Seeds to scatter, dreams to shatter and absent, abstract thoughts that matter Solid in determination to fight her soul's elimination Crying under glassy water Tortured songs and hopes to carry Fallen deep inside. Creation visits but never lingers It stirs you 'till you're fully centered Alive with each new golden thought Collected in the time you bought.
