the caskets are open.
the eyes have watched.
the voices have spoken.
the blood has run.
the veins are now empty.
the eyes shut.
the voices quiet.
still,
years later,
the suffering continues.

lifetimes dedicated to searching for permanence
in a temporary existence.
sometimes in places.
sometimes in people.
sometimes in ourselves.

i looked upon a sky painted
in shades of light blue
blended amongst touches
of reflection and introspection
as thoughts refused to let go
and minds began to seek clarity.
