• I caught Sorrow today.

    Its coarse cry
    Drained
    My soul.
    In sharp wind
    Emotion stirred
    With gray life.

    I chased
    Its smoke stained
    Feathers
    As Sorrow
    Glided through
    The land of clouds.

    I touched
    Its sleek shadow,
    But could not reach.
    So I wove
    A net of hope
    With jewels for tears
    And stars for fear.

    I caught Sorrow today.
    Its feathers
    Became dust
    In the wind.
    One more cry-
    Sorrow melted
    From the glow
    Of my net
    Of hope.
