Begin

Pail frail beguiled-
left-feeling-alone 
ugly, unworthy;  
fake, shattered 
broken-beyond the 
passion righteous hope, 
pureness... beauty, of-those-
innocent-days...

shamed... .


Lady love she paints, sepia tone skies clear,
Sunshine sunny shining-melts the clouds away 
as they billow... .


Seagulls bellow float aloft the winds as 
they terry each stroke bridging the 
divide between land and sea... .


So begin your journey... 
home,

by tomorrow... she'll 
be finished, because 
now, honey,

she's almost-done!
