shelter

here we are
stuck in between a spinning rock 
and a heavenly place
hanging on
doing the best with what we got
marking out our time in this space
all together
though the miles may separate us
we all feel that same sun on our face
realizing
we are the framebuilders of tomorrow
and the future we must embrace
and that...
peace wins
step by step together
looking out for and loving our neighbors
peace wins
peace wins
and that will always be the case

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
