1 - Untitled

A faint imagery of love, of peace,

a heart glancing over glass, a glance,

that can ruin one.

God gives, we have lessons,

and angels around us.

2 - Shame

I’ve been born in dirt and pain,

Flowing water, growing shame,

I understand the ways you look,

The times you feel and consequences,

Consequently it’s hard to care,

But in truth, and if we’re fair,

I know I’ve failed you, and everyone,

There will be no relief for us.

3 - Cradle

 Wooden cradle, carved with stone,

Resting there, all alone.

Charred and ashed, silent and still,

In the remains on top of the hill.
