Mercy

Corrosion springs to violence brings A crude malicious tune On crowded sheet of heaven street We cry for what is true I fought for you and lost for you And wait for you to find Me holding prize with all my might Although it’s barely mine Truth’s a bird with broken wing Tattered and abused It dove for us, and died for us Waiting for our notice Sought, and lost, and cherished Though loved it bites and stings Its one blind eye held back in darkness This all our caring brings? I craft my prayers to tonic spells And light them in the night That universe may not ignore What’s beautiful and bright Make me a light, with wisened eye My shadow parts the way For mercy bring the truth to flight And grace our fear away.
