******

My lungs bent the air
Making my breath come and go
The blood in my veins runs like water
My heart bent it through my body
My bones stand like stone
They bend my knees to the ground
The fires of my mind burn bright
In imagination I've made the sky.

Surrender

In the darkest night,
I found you
Dripping truths,
Rinsing sheets,
Of blood and tears
I knelt before you
Surrendering with hands up
And you adorned me
With oils and scents from afar
Despair whispers in my ears,
Fear shadows my steps,
Love burdens my heart,
Prophecy touches my lips,
And peace dwells in my eyes
To each of them,
I surrender.

What's In a Name?

I was given my name
At the beginning of this charade
One for the dead
Another for a babe
The last is rarely said
But I'll answer to it all the same
Though it doesn't always make sense
It's my passage on this ship.

Glory

Never spent
Reached hell bent
Without charm or blessing sent
Stars above count the sins
Watch over the lives of my kin
Wake me when I've reached Elysian

Jena T May 2020

Are you coming home?

Heard you walked around
Traveled to that divided place
You're tired now
There is no need to be afraid
Close your eyes
Let it slide
Existance is burdensome sometimes.

Wonder

I wonder if the breeze moved slow
Would I know?
If the breath were stuck in my throat
Would I see my life flash before my eyes?
If you were to shout my name,
Would I hear your call?
If I died,
Would I know I wondered all these things?

Oracle

Do you despise
What is wise
Empty your mind
Of thoughts of every kind
Blues and greens
In a ring serene
Eyes of crystalline
Gazing at the signs
Ask what you already know
To confirm what's inside
Speak of divine
The oracle peers one last time
