comfort


From the colors that blend
One stands out in these eyes
Beyond the borders within the flag
It gathers the courage to stand alone
No secret password, no constitution
Just a universal sign of peace
That runs in the eyes of its members
Who find home within a foreign world
Where they never seem acceptable
Those moments are just right
When that color is waved eagerly
Solidarity shining
And from it hope
No longer so alone
Finding comfort in that shade
Not for an elite but a home
For those confounded hearts in the land

paper cranes

One thousand paper cranes
will take us home someday
across those mad winds and silent streams
keeping us at margins

One thousand paper cranes
will save a life today
sending a smile to the sky
the sweetest band-aid that makes it all ok

One thousand paper cranes
will fly away into the night
working their magic songs on hearts
that will dance with moons and stars

One thousand hearts will hum once again
the notes that lied forgotten
yet still run in mild blood
quietly beating

One thousand paper cranes
will surely take us away
back to our home
at least, someday.

Monster Slaying

When I step out,  I sense you  I feel the weight of your eyes following me I hear the whispered thoughts even if you don’t scream them ...
