Speaking to Heaven
Jesse D. Black 1985 (Ohio)
I spoke up to the heavens! With a raspy voice i asked! When will this suffering end? The broken sounds I released to the big blue sky dissipated quickly! My voice no more than a whisper in the wind! Through clouds of silver my words traveled at the speed of life! As the spiral swirling in my head brought me to my knees! I stared into the void before me and begged to know! Why is it that I must endure these tragedies daily!
