Barred From Sight

 

Did you try to take it with you,

did you really think you could

 

Are those moments that you sold for cash,

now spent and gone for good

 

Did you try to buy forgiveness,

choosing darkness over light

 

Are your memories long forgotten,

—new horizons barred from sight

Crossover

 

Writing verse,

my distractions are few

 

Prose unwritten,

the Muse importunes

 

Writing in meter,

writing in rhyme

 

Her blessings upon me,

fortune divine

 

Spiritual kinship,

rind bearing fruit

 

The flowers to spray,

the soil to root

 

Prayers spoken ageless,

footnotes in time

 

Words crossing over,

—gift so sublime
