Within the Weeping of Wings

There’s a crack in the universe

A fracture in the fabric of time

And a hole in the strawberry sky

Sunrise rupture only we can heal

Wanting to see light and flames

Dripping from the horizon’s eye

To feel the burning of your wings

The blazing fire upon your back

Sense golden flowers, golden meadows

Thriving in the shine of golden life

And I glimpsed you there again

Upon that bed of scarlet suffering

As I stood by your side, cocoon shelter

As our wings wept in the anguish

Of finding and losing and wanting

So many countless ages searching

And here so close to our fulfillment

But there is a crack in the universe

A fracture in the fabric of time.

I love your creative pen upon this piece of longing for healing when there's a crack in the universe, a sunrise rapture which needs to be healed. Excellent poetic pen upon this piece!

Thank you so much, Spectre! Needed some uplifting words today. :)

[Eric Cox]

You're welcome. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

there is definitely a crack...there was one in the liberty bell for a long time...and that is a metaphor for how cracked the world and our country is right now....

and we need to heal that crack with love---individually and universally.

great write, Craig.

Yes, jacob, may we all strive to bring healing each day, with all we are. Wishing you such an inspired week.

"But there is a crack in the universe
A fracture in the fabric of time." lovely words, i like how u made your poem like a circle

[An owl on the moon]

Anca, I so appreciate your lifting comments. Yes, our lives are so often lived in circles; in seasons. :)

[Anca Mihaela Bruma]

Circle is the perfect geometric figure, in fact the biggest discovery of the mankind. When I said circle I did not mean cycle... Think of Ouroboros symbol and its significance (I love Eliot's saying In the end is my beginning!"

[Priscilla Sayers]

Amazing buddy!
It's such an exquisite rhythm of our existence our emotions are connected to the Universe, we are one
Nothing and everything
It's a fresh breath for me to see you feel the fractures as well

[An owl on the moon]

Priscilla, you always find a way to spread healing and light wherever you go. I see so many fractured places, but know that Love is coming to make them right. :)

[Priscilla Sayers]

Yes we just have to endure and keep swimming

[Adam Adams]

How true...
So many things 'bout wicked world've been shown in your poetry. I believe, since humanity's been gone into winds, the world's been cracked and it's even still cracked to date in guise of waving violence, brutality & unfaithful-ness across the lives. Very true and thought provoking poetry you've come up with. It makes your reader thinking ov'r the subject of life, deeply. Excellent work as always!

[An owl on the moon]

I always appreciate your insights and how you look deeply into the words, the worlds here. Yes, so many fractured places, and so much healing to be done.

[Renée]

You make breakage sound romantic..and I guess it can be where there is growth.. perhaps those are expansion cracks.. Lovely work Mr. Froman

[An owl on the moon]

Dear Renée, yes, and someone once said the cracks are where the light comes in. Thank you so much!

[Renée]

A pleasure Mr. Froman

[SleeplessVolcano]

A surreal picture, matched with out-of-this world words. Brilliant!

"Our wings wept in the anguish of finding and losing and wanting".......such an apt description! Reminds me of the saying "Rather to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all"......Our hearts are fragile, and they fall out of our chests often, but we should never tire of risking all we have for love that would last a life-time. It is love like that which have wings, and sometimes flies to us when life has made us numb and withdrawn.

[An owl on the moon]

How deeply I appreciate your words! Yes, in our fragile hearts we can find such limitless strength to go on and heal any fractures in our world. For Love is worth waiting for, worth fighting for, worth living for. :)

[Pryde Foltz]

They say the crack lets the light in … it's good not to be a closed system … always something new to delight in like this wonderful write.

[An owl on the moon]

Ah, that is true! Thank you Pryde. And yes, I know the healing will come and awaken the magic. :)

[Corset]

There certainly is a fissure of sorts, wonderful write Craig, hope all is well on your side of the crater.

[An owl on the moon]

I appreciate your kindness, dear Corset. And all will be well, when the healing magic comes.
