it began with chili by t

empty

it began with chili by t
the tears filled and threatened to spill
the stab of realization
yes you would have enjoyed the flavor

unreleased

that punch in the gut void
the floundering of the undescribable
yes you are unreplaceable

on the cusp

i crave your presence
you surround me daily
aching in my soul

need is real

What do we work for...

as I travel along, the days I am wide awake...
I see reasons we work, we arise- clear our eyes- and forge on.

I take in the view... the loves of our lives that comprise
that passion in life
the essence that drives our soul
the drive to correct all wrongs

passions in this world
our necessities of life
the cure for heartache
a correcting of wrongs


as I travel along, the days I am wide awake...
I see reasons we work, we arise- clear our eyes-and forge on.

I take in the view... the needy of our lives that comprise
that struggle of a friend
the pain of loss we experience
those forgotten around us
