Never Do.

Impassioned words
cannabalize
silver lining
and hopeful eyes.
They drown out
the faux light
of the moon--
just a reflection
of the vagabond
and brilliant
sun.

We sit
and groan,
roar with water
lining our eyes,
whine
and write speeches
with false reflection
but never do.

  1. Powerful words here. Writing our words is important, too, though. Write and do would compliment our lives and others. Food for thought.
