stoning hearts

a heart of stone can be worn and weary

the birth of another can turn one’s heart cold

the edges of yesterday’s tears

run down the face

to bare witness to the unknown

what will tomorrow bring?

will we remember this day in years to come?

a heart of stone feels nothing

but the press of the outside world closing in

tomorrow is another day

and one may pray

to have the answers to these questions and more

but be warned

as you have learned before

that the fates

or powers that be

or gods and goddesses

whatever, whoever you need to call them

have a mission all their own

one cannot know the future

by the events that take place today

one can only roll with the punches

hope not to let the world

see the bruises

that lie beneath the layers

of the masks held over you

for sanity is within the eye of the beholder
