the hot pink rise of the sun

I feel your pain

Yet, mine, is undetectable

Too close for comfort

Too real for words

But, yours I know, yours

I know

 

Reflecting for each other

Resounding... regrouping

Rejoining the fold

After we pick each other up

from the cold hard

ground of our warm and wild 

lives

 

Feel my pain, teach me

about it

Help me access the tears

that torment me....

laughing

They haunt me in the deep

night....calling my

name from the shadows

As I gather and allow the courage to

look....to meet them

They disappear.....seductive, swift 

specters

they are....

 

Ghosts lurking, tales tempting

The fear of my own tears

keeps me locked up.... trembling

Head under the covers

Heart pounding in my heavily

laden chest

 

Help me know my pain.....

teach me

I need to know, I want to

know it

Time to banish the ghosts

Send them far

away

in the hot pink rise

of the sun
