This lamp that burns within letting me burn the grief, agony, confusion & bitterness before returning to the steady light that illumines.

The earth,
More barren
Without little footsteps.

Black can be defined as the exhaustive combination of multiple colors. In our darkness lies the spectrum of hope.

why do I listen
to the constant quietness 
of unearthliness ?

footsteps erased by tides
never forgotten
their memory held
in the grains of sand, eternally.

Drape me in your words
then proceed
to read me.

Your words
are woven silk
clothing my naked soul.
