I Live

A Poem by Whimsy Gonser

Through the darkness of the night
Through the silence of the day
Through the coming of the rains that wash my sins away

Through the deep red of the blood
Through the drowning of the past
Through silver eyes and promises that come and.leave too fast

Through drunken explorations
Through heightened ebb and flow
Through the black and white of memories that I used to know

Through the fate of fitful wandering
Through the salt of bitter
tears
Through masks of broken angels
Through the shards of yester years

I live
