She Cries
The guarded walls crumbled.
Stars dripped from the sky
Leaving me black and empty.
Wake and talk, transcribe, tell the terrible tale.

Trembling fear in the garden,
Tinged with suppressed desires.

The future ship will sail silently in the morning mists,
Fall gently upon us like a snowflake on a winter branch,
Naked and brittle but always prepared.
This evening has made me stronger,
My insight has grown and blossomed.
When this winter ends we will dance among
The streams of gentle warming sun.
