Hairline Fracture

Hairline fracture of faith,

don't force it, let it consume you,

jump in the river,

your body is the canoe;

 

as cycles and past lives collide,

you must survive the parallel,

there is a truth in hell.

 

Ministry of persistance,

come back next week,

it takes years to sink in-

 

the child's cries are heard,

understand the tears if you can,

while you impose the smile on your face,

 

in happiness, or in hate.
