In the heart of a sparrow,
Nests a spirited star in mellow
Though mid noon rain shares its sorrow's,
As flesh & bones dissolve into the dawning shadows
.
From whence a souls light befalls the dark before night
Without sight, chasing starlight
Limbs are raised to benight
Eloped to a slaves empty surrendered hands in brief to early light
With fingers warping kryptonite
.
Her palms that shake, take & brake
Though her lips are at one with all that's at stake
Inside is a haunting ache
Invisible to heavens sake
.
From her dim eyes with frozen tears is the shaded window to all her hidden fears
&
There will be rain in the purple wind
When the secret moon visitor, visits within
Under my skin
.
In deafening silence,
I lose myself within the drops of thickened blood reliance
The outside quiet.....
With diminished hope, are the sapient souls coerced to a gunned riot
I salute the sun's enigma whereby it
&
A heart is crushed to promise sworn by it
.
The sparrow's spiritual star inside her feathered mother
Gifts herself a cradled swelling scar
Wrapped in the wounds of the sky's north far
Of where you are
.
