why do angels cry   as their souls die ?   all because you asked why   Why accidental miracle   cannot, was not, meant to be loved   child lost to the sand   from ashes to ashes   blotched ink meant to hide all   created for nothing   undying care   small soul innocent   everything taken   cross still apparent in blue gold sand   even when the journey is over   still commited   you could not be saved   dust to dust   sand to sand Written September 15th, 2001 © on Sep 15 2001 12:33 PM PST   10 • 0
