Merry Mind

The flake of snow on this twig of grass

 

Reminds me of a little young boy

 

He would sneak into fridge & stick his head in

 

And the cool air would soothe his merry mind

 

The deep blue valley takes me back

 

To the third storey

 

From the window of which he would

 

Watch the birds fluttering

 

And below, people rushing by

 

But it’s been long since the time I met him

 

He sure does stay within

 

Within the dark abyss of my mind

 

He can’t feel the joy of little moments anymore

 

Nor would he smile when I play a tune

 

They leave him hollow from inside, the memories of her

 

On a crucifix they nail him every single day

 

But their strength won’t crush his bones

 

And their hammers wont hurt him anymore

 

Coz the soul oozes out from the slit in his heart

 

The wound she left behind

 

It soars up in the light of an angelic voice

 

Leaving me hollow from inside

 

And here I sit, on this rock

 

On the edge of it

 

Thinking what am I without him

 

Without the merry mind

 

So I look down, breathe a gush of breeze

 

And leave along with him.
