Opaque Soul Made Whole

A bullet speaks loud in fleeting breath Fires rage while weaving death The wind cries out in a desperate wail A burdened mind dreams to no avail Anger smolders waiting to rise A tempest brewing in disguise But a smile from you is bright Thawing hearts and restoring light

Better a smile cast my way than a bullet any day (I always say)
