Shelter

Standing alone

under this turbulent

sky

No words

enter or escape

me

I, who is at

a loss for

meaningless

chatter

What hope

is denied me?

What despair

is given me?

Point me

at a truth

to my

existence

Bring into

being a purpose

worthy of me

Do not let

me stand here

silently alone

Let life touch

me once again

Let it scream

and dance across

the land

The gift that

I am should

not be wasted

Bring a future

to peoples

forgotten by

society’s sorrows

Greed has consumed

them

Shelters took by

the fortunate ones

My existence to them,

a joke

To their victims,

a savior

Hidden from

the elements,

the chosen will

thrive

Fate will lead

the worthy

to my shadow

Destiny will

bar the path

of the sorrows

away from my

embrace

Stand in my presence

and weep for my

kindness

Laugh at me

for my gullibility

I will endure

and I will fall
