Sands
A simple life an ordinary life
Complicated by a fractured heart
Unfinished, barely begun
Waiting for the green light
Too late for forgiveness to start
Mistaken path for a lonely soul
Misdirection, the one way to become whole
Hot tears can't reclaim the space
Kneeling, unflinching, Face
Darkness that must be borne
Before revealing a countenance of grace
Voices echo from far away
Beseeching merciful hands
As life fades inside itself
Grasp a soul slipping under
Shifting sands.
