The Organic Poet
'Storm and Grace' by @CharIsWriting
Round cheeks
Rosy with sleep
Laughter drifting
Dark hearts lifted
They tiptoe
Through splintered
Toys and dreams
Gathering tattered
Dregs of strength
Their rotted pillars standing
Beneath walls
Windblown and crumbling
Dry leaves
And softened winds
Taunting the candlewax
Dripping
Through windowpanes all cracked
The curtains swirling
The family
Robbed of home
And peace
Their ravaged rooms
Left twisting
With bulletproof grace.
