Elucidating Questions

The balloon is long gone, did it whither or fly away?

Into the sky farther away, until the ground seemed so tiny that it would never come back,

Until the shards of it fell down, under Gravity’s thumbs.

Stepping back far enough the moon is always full,

After all it always is,

The Sun always shines, after all it does.

A smile in the skies, didn’t even see the crash as the memories of how beautiful life can be, and how sharp it can be,

The song of the lover who wanted nothing more than to protect him,

But her parting words were that he could return in any state.

Perhaps the worst was that he never did.

A love screamed into the end she never heard.

And the silent fingers of them in every story from back then and today.

The face of a woman told she would never be more than that, when women are so much more than that,

When they become so many lights

In crowds of faces searching and collecting

The data of the face the eyes that complexion

Of who you want to see most and least,

In every face,

Something.
