An artist can see beauty & strength in the midst of dereliction,

not with the eye but with the heart. There is an 'inward knowing'

that decay is really glory in disguise...

                                            Maureen Tuohy

With eighty miles

of lies

and a thousand tries

you thought you

could

kill

my dreams

make me

fall apart at the seams

destroy

my hope

and elope

with my future

steal

who I

was created

to be

 

but see

 

here I am

bold as brass

standing

on rainbow covered

glass

 

still standing

 

after all these

years

 

still standing

through all

the tears

 

still standing

 

still singing

 

still joyful

 

still clinging

 

to the 

One

my heart

 

adores
