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
