Bidden

 
infidel of soul hush now
while honesties behind the veil prevail
spoken aloud mysteries of the dark
deep detailed intriacies of the flesh

scribe on the mind provocations
the disavowed in session
they read your thoughts

chanting quietly while you rise from your body
intombed in the mortal
immortality enters the onyx kingdom

abiding in the realm of the unenlightened
you've forgotten your lineage
compelled to speak your bidden not to
it is for you to listen

taking note of your elders
in the eternal void your voice is heard
without speaking

slowly approach wisdom with your offering
tiny woman of faith
bring forth your truth
your observations while among the mortal

I observe a beauty full of sharp edges
in denial of their brutality
I look away
then turn back
when human kills human

it is with a heavy sadness I've observed death
living is a mercy
