Through the empty spaces,
Shoving clouds across mind’s sky,
Like a playground bully.

The tear drop falls,
An unseen pain.

Weathered but untethered,
Beaten, but yet unbowed,
Saved as if some treasure,
And buried just as deep.

With tears and woeful cries,
Let me think that my last day,
Will be seen through happy eyes.

Consonants cannot stand all alone,

Find in each word their alibi.
