oh, child of lost innocence
steeped in unjust miseries
speak to us
call out from your tears
fallen from secret fears
darkly the plaint of wasted dreams
doubtful conflictions
dust and ashes
time to time to time
dire, unconnected, meaningless ...
where is your Mother now?
she cradles
the Moon
her orb undifferentiated
her light softly, clean:sing
an ancient cares:sing,
lullaby sweet child of Earth
... that you're sent away
while your light aspires fiery to far heights
far from home, fallen star
in agonies burned ...
fall further still, come crashing, spurned ...
while you shake in uncertainty ...
... wing up to that sky
that wondrous sky
into which you'll fly
oblivious of gravities pain
wing up again…
you're a natural mutation
an ever reaching biological organism
a self determining intelligence
a longing ancient ache
wild and creative
bent toward infinity
the way of this life
every tear a cleaning
laughter o'er fear!
sweet child of wonder
oblivious of gravities pain
wing up again
and again…
