Still I Glide
Manuel Santos, Jr. 1973 (Houston)
Softly out of time.
Still I rhyme.
Loudly dying.
Colorfully crying.
Magnificently frowning.
Upwardly drowning.
Quickly staying in place.
Still framing a youthful face.
Unearthed voices.
Avoiding explosive choices.
Blurry sun.
Side stepping dark fun.
Powerless eyes.
Mountainous sighs.
Love filled dreams.
Laughter bursting at the seams.
Smiles and hugs over money.
My soul covered in glowing honey.
