I watched the dew rise
a mist
ghosts in the morning sun.
I sometimes have
an envious eye
and wish to fade,
to go into some beyond.
Escaping certain future
for the unknown,
'cept as the answering of echos.
Is there belief enough
in me to hold
while time chips away?
I cannot answer
for such is the strength of shame.
Let us not all drown together.
I've still got shoulders to climb on.
a wish to sacrifice
just make a nother wish
to be strong
and you may sacrifice
that dismal wish
very nice poem
