it might be
when
understanding what we give
becomes
less important than
giving

the angel of trust
can on certain days
leave
some frailty running
under the skin

the wind whispers
drying
the leaves
after the rain
while the moon
is wandering
across the sky
and a silent bird
is flying high
since the little girl
has stopped to cry
