Child Scream Out
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!!
