Tomorrow

Svelte, soft and solid wings  
Sing the fluid song of freedom  
Over this degenerate congregation  
A powerful noise, but not a law, nor
    ownership  
I am the river  
     And the shadowed wings above it  
Morphing as a cloud  
Cleansing and clearing all  
Damning up the toxic debris  
Of desperate foibles, lazy lies  
Storied eyes of paranoia, hatred and  
     boredom  
 
In the distance I hear a nightbird  
Her notes are timely and clear  
Whispered over wild rose and  
     honeysuckle  
Harmonized with truth and charity and  
    tolerance  
And with her, every breeze  
Is singing Tomorrow

Author's Note
This sounds more than slightly pompous, but I was listening to someone I admire today talk about the power of words. I was feeling that rush of the poet as they sculpt emotions. I'm feeling boxed in and trying to walk with power.
