HONESTY BEGGED AN ANSWER
HONESTY begged -- an answer
From me it asked impossibility
Forgetting my place within time
I spoke the truth -- almost benign
Thunder split the world within
First a crack then a fissure
Old souls cried a sorrowful song
And blood drenched the lids of eyes
Knowing truth as some may say
Is keener than a sharpened blade
Sometimes best to hear -- a wind
Than feel the storm of emotional pain

When wings touch another in flight
the sense is one of embracing sister or brother
passing through this madness called life
Your gift of reply is more than expected
and my humble thankfulness more than yours
always respecting your feelings - be blessed
