If I Could Start a Thaw
if i could the person inside
and banish those ghosts
if i could find what i glimpse
banish the shadowy hosts
i see potential
abused and left outside
by those who went before
if ca expose your sunshine
if i could start a thaw
give you the freedom
lost to oppressive lovers
if…
if i can see you
away from the the bright lamp
which has shone in your eyes
away from the storms
and cloud laden skies
