Consolation – By Matthew Anish
Flowers fade
as we walk near
a rapid river
the powers of
night envelop
our consciousness
Dreams are the playing
cards we use
to gamble with
eyes filled with tears
as we watched
the ship of reality
leave for foreign shores
No, we will not have
an easy trip
But in the end
we’ll take solace
in the fact that we lived
on the edge for a time
and do not regret
