Bars AblazeA Poem by Rachael Hope NicholsonShe thought she saw It up in the sky Blistering purple Magnified eye Surrounded by Cottony clouds of grey Burning stars Filtered through bars A fiery jail in which There was God In the image of No it couldn't be Not God in the Image of me Of you and Him You’re Daughter My Son My Father My Mother Everyone Outside of the Bars Stood the gate keeper Eyes dead and cold Gaunt face Displayed bones "Why oh why Do you guard the jail?" She thought She saw It up in the sky Blistering purple Magnified eye Surrounded by Cottony clouds of grey
