Where from?

It is very dark, just a speck of grit
in the corner of your eye.

Sometimes you see angels,
they dazzle, have stars

in their hair
and you are feather light.

Where, where does this darkness live?
What damage was done?

But when you laugh
I want to juggle with stars.

Catastrophic failings in schizophrenia care revealed

Maureen Weldon, Was a professional ballet dancer, she now writes poetry, it is not a hobby the work is too hard.

Like Carrion Crows

Listen to the ripple.
Deep in the lake
a stone was dropped.

That night the child cried
no one was listening.

Until
years later
horror and sorrow.

While the carrion crows
flew - - free.
