Vexation In The Garden Richard Evans
where shall I run
if the dormant grass remains
to prick my bare soles
as I scurry to the other side
in pursuit of this child
whom I would give my very life
though her life may not mirror my own
the string in her hand that balloon in the sky
seem so simple at sunset
the clouds they agree not to deter this memory
with rain and fulmination
a ray of sunlight glows even more
the added warmth does strange things to the skin
she does not know to compare the future with the past
she trusts her mother her father and the heavens
the twilight would never lie
but right and wrong can touch tomorrow
and when tomorrow touches her I pray
it is with hands as gentle as mine
