Ashen gray envelopes
Thunder cracks hopes
Words entrenched
Dagger clenched
Gatsby's green light haunts
Letters cast from a typewriter's font
Daylight shatters
Darkness scatters
Pinks, Oranges, yellow splatters
Hope arises
Words bleed
Scripted deed
Blank page
Actors backstage
Caged mockingbird sings
Water trickles from springs
Travelin' man walks
Whistles Dixie down the blocks
