Book Cover & Preview Text
WANT ME Announced in a sentence Embedded heart smoking Broken and captioned Frozen inward and wanting Acolyte within moments Wanton rasps float within Seduced by a whisper Heart hardened in sin Put forth in words lamenting Brief and ever so torn Went wandering in highlands Hardened inside by a storm Reacting in succinct arches Crisp waves caressing Smiling in languished excess Foreshadowed in obsessing BRIGHT SPARK Falling into shadows Is crippling but you learn To look out in wonder Take fate and all discerned Bask in a dull dark light Observe and feel its depth Tinker in all facets of life In wisdom feel its breadth History won’t repeat a lie Stay the path get it right See the steps of white light Rise with new breathe of life Sparkling emerge a butterfly Light your way begin to fly Out from shadow and the dark Ignite your light embrace the spark
