Watching Boys Playing In Red Lights
Poem
There's no ball left to kick
Just fingers streaming against the wind but voices course through the air
Petals are streaming through the outside making everything clear
Too much pride and not a light to Heaven anywhere
Slicked back deliverance
Holding crosses not farms and singing of friends and ocean blue
Treasonous outcomes are not your fault
Symphonies in balance
The truth ultimately, always comes to dawn
Even with the lights on
Even with the lights on
I can only handle a few ideas at a time or I'm a little dizzy when I talk
Thank you, the untouchable, the unthinkable you
Thank you for the basic necessity of you
Share the limelight, share the dreams but keep the broken parts in between yourselves
Discordance is not jealousy, there's a hint for you. It's the splint of indifference correcting wrongs but not taking a step
Balancing, balancing is like standing with one shoe
Don't crucify me before you dream just because I sensed you all playing in red lights

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
