distortion winds its way through lying words into our everyday

distortion winds its way through lying words into our everyday
we laid our careful blocks in blood and steel then paid for that much real
immobilized and knowing you can’t leave with all that time to grieve
It sort of gives one pause: The blows that come From those who love the cause
Back from the shadows lost
Beyond both price and cost
Lacking rancor
So tell the truth:
Do you, or anyone
Know better than the sun?
= = = = =
when we climb,
it’s not the struggle
it’s the height
Polka dot wishes come
And spirits hum
But we’ve got enough time…
past what she seems
the lasting joy she finds
in stories and in dreams
Come look into the fall
Of one who dared
To show someone she cared
