Random Purposeness

Michelle Smith
a chance existence
balanced by contrived meanings
wings encased in rigor
faith exposed
and deluded by disruptions

an icy breath of sorrow
reaps the thoughts of sufferers
footprints faded in disease
doubt released
and burned into our being

the capacity for fusion
broadens all we are
wings emerge from scars
trust reinforced
and sets our souls on fire

    "wings emerge from scars". Great line. Life's lessons can often give us freedom. The picture was very cool also.

    Somewhere between faith and doubt is maddness. Nice job.
