Tired, weary, worn out,
this day filled with misery...

She takes a deep breath
and steps through the door...

Sand glistening 'neath blazing sun,
shimmering waves of silver rise...

Embraced by the spirit of you,
its majestic wings spread wide...

There was a girl name Pearl,
her skin, painful from a sunburn, was all red...

Candy,
it's better than...

--------------Grief
-------horrific, repugnant...

Unbearable palpable pain,
heart ripped from its mooring...

Season of renewal, splendid Spring.
Tantalizing time of growth, new life it brings...

Spring,
grass turning green...

Act a little crazy today,
run, hop, skip, sing a song...

Hands shake reaching for the bottle,
full of amber liquid courage...
