Poetry: Mourning Ocean
I heard the sad song you hummed
Beneath the deep well
Where my oceans of sorrow lay
Does the freezing wind
Of love
Make your eyes tear?
Or does the flying fleece
From the torn blanket of trust
U seek comfort under
Irritates your vision?
Perhaps it is the fear,
Fear of denial
Albeit time fleets by swiftly
While you stand with your heart
In your hands,
Looking up to the skies
Scorching Sun
burns the skin of your feet
The rulers up above
Stares back
Furious
Shakes the peace of your spirit
Doesn't it
No, just no!
Voices, they scream in agony
By the corners of this mind
"Forgive this sinful soul"
Oh God of heaven
I've given too much
Nothing have I left with
Now to gift you
The long arduous days
When you walked with me
Never will I forget
My children, my own flesh and blood,
I wish you'd walk with them too
When their days are trying
And mountains are too high for them
To climb upon
Send my Holy Spirit by their side
For I cry unto you
Dear virgin Mary, Mother of God!
Hear this mortals' prayers
The waves of this mournful ocean
These tears made
Begs for your mercy
It's too difficult
For these two shoulders to bear
Afterlife of which I'm weary
Carry me into your arms
And wipe away this misery
For you
For love
