WeepingA Poem by Raven StarhawkAcross a lined face… …an abused soul… …and a savaged mind… …realization splashes As daydreams and optimisms… …entreaties and philosophies… …contentment and devotion… …crashes And melancholy… …prejudice and ignorance… …arrogance and deceit… …bathes in cashes
Into scorching wasteland she trudges While feeling society’s grudges And knowing her providence is most unkempt; A hell where her heart is already kept
Settling in her eyes… …mutating her values… …and disgracing her existence… …was an unrecognizable mark Whilst her cognizance capitulates to the dark And Madam Winter whispers in her ear, “Death is nothing to fear.” © 2017 Raven Starhawk |
