Hollow eyes

 

 

 

I have hollow eyes

sunken cheeks

no teeth
I am blind

but I feel you staring

at me

wondering,

why does he stick around

here?
Why?

He cannot hear

or see

Why?  You ask

It is not my time to die

and I will not go away

until my heart is clear,

until I have no fear

I will stay,

hope,

pray

and dream,

here alone

of a better world,

for peace

until God calls me home
