Ask Maria

Maria. Maria, a simple soul seeking only the grace of God. A healing touch and a thought of love and hope for coming days.

The blade comes to mind.

Yellow skin and blood red eyes.

Steel. Shadowed ones.

This dark veil all around us.

Big, blue oceans inside of me.

Swimming inside of me.

Ask and hold my heart,

And swing me again.

Lying on my chest. The cement is cracked.

Memories are singing silence to me.

Ask and hold my soul,

And swallow me again.

I hurt my face,

And stung me again.

Driving down the road again.

Heaviness is in my smile.

A scream, it penetrates the night.

Ask and hold my dreams,

And soothe me again.

A small bitter thing.

This silken thread.

Like a little pebble rolling in my pocket.

Ask and hold my face,

And speak loudly again.

Ask just darling,

Your more than a thought.
