a cloud of smoke

a mind full of vision

a path of action

a trail of the lost



a noble fight

plethora of lost causes

forward and backward

look behind and reflect



learning to ascend sanity



brother's wars

and lover's spats

park benches where the paint

is always somehow wet



when the mothers cry

and the babes soothe

tears rise

smiles fall



ascending sanity



words gain value

actions mean nothing

a smile is fraud

a poem is eternal



arms no longer hold

only push away

the sun shines

but just to mock



when we ascend sanity
