&quot;Control. There are people and things that want your allegiance. Intelligence and imagination are your freedoms.&quot; <br /> <br /> -Anonymous<br /> <br /> &quot;what matters most is<br /> how well you <br /> walk through the<br /> fire.&quot;<br /> --Charles Bukowski

The sidewalk bakes under my feet
Colors, flashing and loud, float
freely through the shimmering treetops.
Rustle, rustle, sigh.
No sounds but the cicadas and the
heat.
My soul longs for the warmth, for the sun
to brown my sweater-wrapped skin.
I shiver.
I open my eyes and
it's raining,
grey water that edges on sleet
pouring from the sky.
But I know
soon the edges of the heaven will warm and
blush and
a new season will come.

I long for the coming months for
my soul resides in the heart of summer.

&quot;I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who&#039;s left me so many times. I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who won&#039;t answer my call.&quot;
