Poem Title:
Poem
despair hangs heavy in the air these days but the only path is through they say an intruder in the midst blowing his cold still drip into the ivy teardrops overwhelm tilted ice trays gently gathering each hoping for a catch and release a heavy hand presenting an uncertain voice faint in the distance pestering its presence time slowing its pace but not in charge of winning the race a family stands fixed inside time a child cries out a sister screams as it marches through cells demanding to conquer every hope not yet dreamed pouring rain, pouring down pouring through shattered veins showering in bitter pieces of pain expose the last evidence of pride clusters of hair falling falling sunken eyes tear deep through the heart and break even at places that had been glued steel shut lost innocence now fixed on fear and mistrust poured the injustice of the fall from Eden wavering and perplexed dangling from an uncommitted tree knowing now life will try you over and over and over again to extreme without a chance to compose in between a soft voice delivered to my soul is this all there is? a mother sobs how do you explain darkness to sunlight faith is a lottery the acceptance to believe that someone will win but.. someone.. will lose. how to make sense is the dream that you choose the show just beginning the fight of her life a mother prays not fair this is not fair she deserves hope that awakens the light The only way.. to survive this.. beloved Is To Scream! At all which tries to shake your strength At the Universe for allowing the light to dare blink when you rise Scream! Until the mountains shift and buffer the clouds Until the wind retreats and calms the storm within Scream! Until you pierce the edges of eternity evolving majestic wings of flight Until you douse your fire into hell itself Until it relents to your will and makes peace with the blaze of your spirit Scream! To awaken a miracle from its slumber and guide its presence into the abyss smothering your soul Scream! To Un-cage The Outraged Warrior Within! Child Scream Out! Child Scream Out! Child Scream Out!! Dedicated to my courageous beloved niece....Alicia April 23, 1985 - March 13, 2019 "Your glorious spirit is set free"
