hearts stained by valiant mercies
Spring thaw breathes new life

Worlds emerge from here
sulfur, steam, primal creatures
all hope still intact

It’s a simple story really
about a girl who could fly
and did so well
until that day
she fluttered and fell
too close to the sea
and is trapped ever since
at the crest of its waves
held there by surface tension . . .

The light hasn’t come
yet the promise of new day
today is certain

Rose colored glasses
tint purple skies and green suns
thorns too close to eyes

Universe whispers
tickle ears they’re faraway
words I cannot hear
