scattered shadows


today’s the day that marks the day

in coffins lay all that holds sway

no longer are my days the night

i’m breaking free and taking flight

 

alighting on her sovereign skin

where all of me is welcomed in

to dwell where prophets prophesized

there’s nothing that i’ve compromised

 

except some dust and crusted rust

and winding streets of wanderlust

i sing new songs she sang to me

while in her arms that canopy

 

the harsh rays of my loneliness

filtered by her tenderness

the work of faith within her touch

i’ve been born again amid such

 

writing epitaphs along the way

for the dark streets of decay

and my despair that i once shared

during my years of walking there

 

for now i stray in different ways

lady and tramp, meatball to say

she’s uppermost within my mind

no other thoughts i hope to find

 

***
