Raining Heart in Silence

She listened as

the silence filled her being . 

She knew the flowers were broken 

as was the stillness in the woods . 

 

A hawkshire moon , 

the malice of starlight. 

Brittle with frost , 

adrift, 

tribeless 

in the naked night of dreams . 

Her lava flowed 

in an unrelenting quiet fire 

of silence . 

 

She needed a resurrection 

as her storm broke , 

volcanic . 

With a simple but deadly logic 

she hung on the moon . 

A raining heart plucked 

from a midnite storm of wrath .

 

As the stream rushed darkly

beneath a meadow of virgin white 

The eastern sky started to glow , 

a whisper in the air , 

a softening light . 

Troubadors abound 

and sing her sad song . 

 

Her soft whisper was first 

felt on the far coast of midnite. 

A wounded soul , 

highly wrought with pain . 

An owl flew low and hid 

by the lonely crippled creek . 

 

Over the quivering lips of dawn 

a bitter seed erupts . 

Like the fallen bliss 

of an ancient creed . 

 

Epic silence . 

Except for the crunch 

as she steps to the grass .
