XAVIER COLLEGE
THE ELDON HOGAN CREATIVE WRITING PRIZE 2003

Good works and kind words
Make the world smile.
Kind words smooth the shadows from your face,
The glazed desolation from your eyes,
And the desperate search for someone.
Who can reveal the truth?
Whispers echo in your mind.
You’re nothing but glass
People look but can’t see you
And the darkness that over comes you.
It’s like you’re the only one here
No one can see you,
You just want to lie down, sleep,
And forget your troubles.
Sometimes the days seem to go on and on and on….
Tomorrow comes with nothing new
And nothing to look forward to.
Then something penetrates the dark,
Piercing through; black shards fall at your feet.
Shattering into a million fragments
Each a reflection of your face
Close your eyes and breath
Just breath
Kind words soothe your troubled mind
And a hand lifts you up
Good works help you on your way
And you shimmer with golden brilliance
Radiating warmth.
You feel away, and alive
Like all the shadows from your life are melting in the sun
And flowing away from you to hide in darkness.
And for the first time in days, the sun comes out
