Empathy~Spirit Child

 
Trying to ascend
the dark presses in on me
and will not relent
It tastes the grace of my being
light fettered
with midnight's last regret
My soul is not my own

Was it ever, I wonder?
Little redeemer
falling through time
chastised
a vision left aching
and mute

The cosmic equalizer
comes on quietly
hunting my dreams
cloaking himself
with tunnel vision

In the darkness
innocence weeps
at misunderstanding's sake
while sonnets of faith escape me
and my Father
Wisdom
stirs in his chambers

Exiled here
for protection's keep
my tiny heart rests broken
a bitter pill to swallow
my life rent by chasm and rift
in unfathomable space
a child of the gods
delivered to this dimension

My Mother
a goddess of terror
resides in the abyss
chained to it
Never a colder harlot was

A thief in all things great and small
