Crystals In The Sky
This is a poem I’ve written just today. It’s titled
“Crystals In The Sky”. Obviously, it’s a surreal poem that utilizes symbols and imagery that connotes the meaning, of hope and redemption.

hundreds of thousands of them, where in the past I have seen millions
or merely by the hundred thousands —
As I might have been mistaken.
The crystals in the sky,
my friends who have appeared to me,
floating in the sky and flashing before my eyes,
as they come to me,
