Why does your voice bark anger at the world
while sitting in golden morning sunlight?
What atrocities have your eyes witnessed,
haunting your soul,
causing your every utterance to cloud the sun,
foment the peace lingering in the air, and
rape fledgling flowers of their innocence?
If I could take it all away, I would,
leaving just the hushing waves washing over you,
carrying your hurt and anger far out to sea.
If I could, I’d kiss away the bark from your lips,
leaving only a sweet trusting smile lasting a lifetime.

Thanks everyone. Your comments are very much appreciated. I must add, and I am certain no one assumed this was a personal poem. Just an idea stolen away from a conversation with a work colleague. 🙂
Maria: welcome and thank you.
I know, I know
one should bite one’s tongue
For in protest, one is feeding the fire
