no time to run, our time is goneA Poem by J. C. AlvaresIn the husky breath of the morning air,
leaves make their way from safe haven to bold ground, cold with the promise of
death. As so lightning and thunder warn from above and vanish within seconds in
the suspended dust, right before our eyes. If our breathing soothes and our sleeping lies right
ahead, we should know what we already know: now was always too soon, and now is
sooner too late. There from the skies come the angels who sing
the battle. Their tangled voices, soft and cool, whisper the ending of an era
that’s no longer ours. For the time for redemption is up, the always living sins
of our dead souls will pay the price. How long can it take so that their ever
so quiet voices break the curse cast by our stolen heaven? © 2013 J. C. AlvaresAuthor's Note
