Carl Scharwath & Jenny Fernald
LIGHT OF THE LIVING
Dream-state eyes envision fear as
Arms encompass an astral sacrament.
Superimposed reality stimulates
In the augmentation and destination
Of a city-street void of life.
One flower stands alone
As monolithic decay
Ingests the landscape.
Breathing passion from
Your sun-kissed petals,
Dirt conceals with heaviness.
You are the most special,
The other flowers,
Wind-turned in the tempest.
Imply to judge the one
Solitary apart from the mold.
Frail in your life, only needing someone.
A broken lock intercedes
To buffer your emotional storm.
Stepping through silence, entwined in neglect.
Your strength is propagated
In honesty and kindness,
As decay turns to life anew.
