WAITING WHISPERS

Looking over the balcony
Of endless possibility
Creative Energy saw...a door
She wondered
She pondered
As desire formed MORE

Impatience unnoticed
As curiosity grew
Into a question of descent
She decided to create
What she wanted
Without the process of consent

Down, down she fell
Deeper and deeper 
The spiral took her heart
She never noticed
Discernment thinned
Until her path ripped apart

...the fabric of purity

She could NOT be left
To the death below
Waiting to devour womb
Company followed
Close enough to see
But leaving LOVE room

Discipline can not come
Until loss is felt
And mourning is in the marrow
So WORD plunged
Into her story, hidden
Until she called out in deep sorrow

He met her at a cross
That devoured the cost
The door opened in the mind
Together, they embodied
The price of LOVE
Repairing the rift of time

...in the tapestry of legend
