Dedication

Dedication
By, Jess Dickson

We were...
   Swallowed by waters of timeless desperation
   Drenched in waves of catastrophic nostalgia
   Profoundly submerged in oceanic blues

We never…
    Considered the hope in a star’s beckoning
    Believed in midnight’s lustrous radiance
    Pondered the notion of breath lacking that intrinsic ache

We are…
    Surfacing in shades of rebirth
    Captivated by strokes of divinity unearthed
    Finding jewels among life’s soiled tokens

We have…
    Eyes dyed with serene acceptance
    A heart faith-painted with hues of allegiance
    Lips to impart the kiss of healing declaration
