There is no one word

that can even be heard

by the ears of skeptics

who cannot comprehend

what is is like to not understand

where something came from

and how to make it end

There is no one word

to describe staring at the sun

and seeing it as the moon

looking at the brightest sky

and seeing nothing but gloom

 

And I wonder

if I felt the sun

against my skin

could I mend

the sky

close up the darkness

and not care to know why

 

There is no one word

that can even be sung

by the sound of a dove

that could lift these lower notes

to a high octave

There is no one word

that could take the fear away

Make me feel tomorrows

going to change someday

Make me able to face the next

rainy day….

with a smile…

 

And I wonder

if I felt the sun

against my skin

could I mend

the sky

close up the darkness

and not care to know why
