Preterition
She Walked By
She walked through the crowd,
softly offered the urchin shelter and food.
He scoffed at her penury being and ran away.
She walked through the crowd,
saw the urchin and quietly walked by.....
She walked through the crowd,
a smiling figure creeped closer whose preternatural satanic light
lit in her charred soul and burnt accounts.
She walked through the crowd,
iceberg thoughts of the worthless defrosted as she walked by.....
She walked through the crowd,
pampering her cherub whose hand she held tight.
Old memories were getting dimmer when one in a crowd waved at her.
She and her love, hand in hand, happily walked by in a crowd.
