In hesitant expectancy
We step forth –
Mindful of future hopes,
Remembering past experiences,
Praying for guidance along the way.
If only we were so.
forgetting the past
grasping for the future,
we trip on ourselves
but never notice the fall
till we call on ourselves
for rescue
and wonder why we wander
lost, alone
without hope.

Broken Doll
Broken doll
cast Aside;
cracked face with
permanent Smile -
empty eyes.
Little girl sobs
in huddled Heap;
Warrior stands over,
shoulders slumped but
sword ready.
Who is the enemy?
Those that prowl the wall
or little girl?
