CONVERSATIONS

<p>I won't persuade you from whatever you believe or hope.</p><p>I can't help you with your exquisite pain or panic.</p><p>I'm not sure my musings will lead you to the stars.</p><p>The patterned drumming of my heated conversations</p><p>May not provide a recess from your chaos.</p><p>If you are chasing dreams</p><p>Dashing down rivers of the soul</p><p>Standing still at the bottom of mountains</p><p>You must climb</p><p>My words are inside out .</p><p>My prayers are fervent but missing redemption.</p><p>My paragraphs are flashlight beams</p><p>On twisted roads teaching how to get up again.</p><p>I won't persuade you from your travels</p><p>But you may find good conversations.</p>
