Narrow minds and futile battles
shatter dreams that could have been
gone illusions of graceful living
seeking meaning in between.
Falling down and getting up
stumbling all along
to find a balance in a life
that lost its morning song.
Broken glass and tall closed gates
barefoot walking on hot sand
feeling endless wishes burning
and hopes that never end.
Longing for a peaceful respite
from a world that only knows
the price of every little thing
but doesn’t value a lonely rose.

Kira Shimoni Fulks: A heartfelt ‘Thank You’ +Parrot Wingate
Yes, everything does seem to have a price put on it. I have come to find that highly irritating, even contemptible. Did you do the artwork as well?
Kira Shimoni Fulks: Thank you Bruce Newman! My art is a collection of personal moments–now I am letting others peek–and I am thrilled by the response! More to come–stay tuned:)
Beautifully written Kira. Brilliant imagery and word choices. Really love the closing lines, Kira Shimoni Fulks.
OMG!!! Bruce Newman, David Ode, Karen Hayward–You are giving me goose bumps! Thank you so much for the wonderful comments I am so honored! And yes, I do all the artwork. For years I have been keeping my work ‘in the closet’ I am finally letting go:) kirasart.com
