Wrapping up

Tying the loose ends

In firm knots

They align

Their drooping figures a sign

Of the oncoming

 

Move further

The day’s labour calls

Diligent

Hands obey

Scales for the future they weigh

Disappearing mass

 

The sun sets

On valleys that sway

In tall homes

Preachers pray

Their rosaries a staircase

Between me and I

 

The night breathes

The scent of days churned

Through fingers

Still counting

The total bill amounting

To gate keeper’s fee

 

I fly lone

Through sunrise within

Moon and sun

Face to face

See me through deepest disgrace

Until I reach skies

 

The journey

Carries me through clouds

White and pure

Like his shrouds

He is King of my castle

His light my Kingdom

Restless Times

The road knows two sides

Straight ahead

Wall awaits

Pacing left right and center

Footsteps a quagmire

 

Burnt desire

Parchment of memories

Coded red

Bloodied lips

Utter words of safe havens

Peacocks and ravens

 

Middle way

Lost in centuries

When dragons

Founded grace

The knights adopting their pace

Upheld the old code

 

Angels sway

To tunes of morrows

When sorrows

Overcome

The thunders of their low hum

As voices crackle

 

Knitted faith

Protects no longer

Knots untied

Unweaving

Widows and sons bereaving

The lost promises

 

Spear pierces

Its thrust solemn sigh

Exposed flank

Receiving

Like a fluttering dove weeps

Exhaling stillness

See

Written

Upon me

Handle with care

If crushed I would bleed

Red roses seep inky thoughts

The mess you can’t leave behind

Most stained pursuit of forgiveness

Between frozen shelters and black rain

Yet every day through ice and rain I breathe

Thawing releases more wretched pain

Inbred sense of self, mind’s harness

Picture perfect sense railed blind

Scarred mind’s forget me knots

The one-eyed would lead

Blind people bare

In frenzy

Risen

Change within the knots

Carved in fragments of knit soul

That finds the loose ends
