This Little Alight of Mine<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In alight of God unearth
\nThat day may show up
\nWhen I offer up
\nThese poems
\nA bask it know longer
\nCovering this little alight
\nOf mine
\nA treasure of gems dropped
\nIn obscurity
\nSoully to be found
\nAs real eyes mete
\nConcrete and steal
\nOf a brutalizing whirled
\nAwe ways standing
\nIn concert with hearts singing
\nBilled as stories
\nOf sky scrapers caste a bout
\nAnd awe tolled
\nI was hear
\nHow ever list in
\nAnd take in aback
\nSoully wanting
\nSolid-heir-ity
\nWith those presente
\nAnd a future worth living<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
