Before the storm clouds arrived... <br />Before the morning tiptoed on in- <br />Before the truth that would break us <br />Before the bridge was burned, in sin; <br />Our flaws stood with no mercy <br />While doubts sabotaged our very way- <br />Discouraging our windows of opportunity... <br />When compassion had lost the day! ; <br />Where once grace had been a zealous brocade <br />Sewn in the empathy of the moon lit night- <br />The starless sky-emptied the sun-come dawn <br />Opening up our only vista's of light; <br />Deaf, dumb and disabled-totally <br />Our empty language, thus led- <br />Us, through valleys of shattering discord- <br />Casting reflections of something wrong in our heads; <br /> <br /> <br />By: Theodora Onken <br /> <br />March 29,2012<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/irreconcilable-differences/
