Ancient wounds ~ Comet wishes

 

 

 

 

Ancient wounds ~ Comet wishes

 

 

Bleeding from these ancient wounds

Falling to the earth below

Mud red, blood red, softening the ground

My footprints ache in format patterns

 

So long the wounds, of age defined,

Dripping masses in the mist

Marked for life, while a beating heart

pumps eternal fluid fears

 

Watching as the puddles grow,

round at first and then obscure

Fading faster than the sun

on its westward trek of daylight shadows

 

Weak ~ I find my eyes they stare

off into the crowning moon

Beams of effervescent glow

shroud me in unknown pleasures

 

Rising above the crusted mounds

Light as any whispered breeze

Words now call in sweet caress

Melodies of past preferred ring

 

Lyrics sung to me and me alone

A language that my soul does speak

Piano keys in blended black and white

string together lasting impressions

 

Symphonies of a healing concerto

press upon my quivered skin

Scars now dance at the revival

and still my feet don’t find the floor

 

My hand is touched, fingers moved

Warmth embraces this awkward grip

as peace flows, smooth, soft, subtle

through my veins

 

The bleeding has ceased

Disappeared among comet wishes

and my heart, long silent, now sings

in harmony with her voice ~ and I dream

Ancient wounds...we all have them some deeper then others. But hopefully those scars we bear can be soothed by our dreams of something beautiful to come. This is a wistful poem Jack...simply wonderful!
