For the greater good <br />We pause, fisted hammer <br />Short on the anvil <br />Stake this reputation <br />On the manufacture <br />On the creation <br />Of supposition – <br />Where there were oak <br />Tree forests, there’s <br />Now just us, not so <br />Full of life or yesterday’s <br />Idyllic dreams – <br />Pause me, pause away <br />This painful slice of time <br />Fast forward past the scene <br />Until the asphalt meets <br />The sea – <br />It comes in waves, washing <br />Over us, over consciousness <br />Tearing at our hearts <br />Our sacred hunger <br />Drawing on the light <br />Calling us <br />Down on the anvil <br />Down on the anvil <br />One modicum of grace <br /> <br /><i>El Corazon</i><br /><br />Kelly Vinal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pause/
