Ceremonial
Looking for myself
Water dripping from eyes of frescoes
Flickering alive - spirits of the dead
I'm accompanied by echoes of my steps
I'm not alone...
Sun rays break rainbows through windows
Rootless bouquets of flowers displayed by hearts in mourning
Silence makes one's heart heard
I approach her with fear of the unknown
So fragile before - so monumental now
I sink in mud as hungry children ask for a quarter
I give them candy as to remember of their childhood
...they don't have a mother...
I did...
