the mighty oak falls
  and all the forest weeps, their
  mournful echoes float
  above the canopy, as
  the giant lies in repose

A smile hides sometimes
The deep feelings of the soul
Hidden from outside
With a transparent armor
Covering like a black veil

Lord,
Let me view the world
At each new dawn,
Through childish eyes.
Fixate my thoughts,
Not on sounds
Of an awakening city,
But the mournful cry
Of one bleating Lamb....

tenuous strands 
lithely tethering 
the soul to reality... 
strummed unevenly 
by life 

sharp notes 
compose  
a subtle dirge 
of mournful 
ambivalence
