Smooth Sailing

He gave without asking for anything

I gave what I could

He gave more

I gave more

I stopped for a moment

He continued giving 

He kept giving

He never stopped giving

The last wall came down

I gave

I gave

And then it was smooth sailing-

Simple and fulfilling

Stays

I want it to

 Doesn’t happen

Escape me

 Still remains

Vanish the root

 Holding tight

I ask yet

 Leading astray

Silence as the answer

 Hides behind

Kicks me into

 Won’t come forward

An angry dust

 Maybe laughing

Cannot continue

 Behind dark curtain

Speaking untruth

I want it to

 Doesn’t happen

Escape me

 Still remains

Destroy the

 Holding tight

Blackened soot
