each day i see you struggling to move along the rugged path of innocence leaning upon emptiness promises peace love bliss forever you a sacrificial offering on the altar of belief hold fast to terra firma never daring to take flight tho the flames rise all around
i watched
as the hawk
struck her prey
but it scurried
injured into the brush
the hawk soared high
into the parched noonday sky
patiently waiting for its return
for she knew
this was
the only place
for water
