Quemis

Sleepless Prayer

I used to stomp around the place with pockets full of stars.
Lightning in each bottle,
Bandage for each scar.

I could sing unwritten hymns through endless mud or tears.
At least shine a tiny light;
Color ugly years.

All those embers are long cold- Heaven is overcast. 
Each Artless night I sleepless pray this aching eon pass.
