Clarity (for Kristaline)


What did you do?
When the wind beat the rain
down hard on your soul, with no roof
How can it be?
That flesh and blood and mind
survive under a burning, painful sun
Hell rather than just... hell

These corners come so easily
when called in various ways
called to battle, to war
always a back to the wall
and fear in your heart
poised beside foe
in similar goals
yet loved, and saved.

The curses of time past
were building your heart
In misty, cold streets
and open spaces
Invoking the need to run
Summoning the strength
to fight
throwing the intent
for a new world
A world of night.

Planning your demise
with neurones and synapses
firing into the abyss
Your protector becoming
your darkest hour
again and again
You have nothing
then everything
then nothing again
then something.

Clarity
Warrior
Child
Destiny

Does your star give you answers?
under the red glimmer
of memories
suffused reminders
Bringing forth the demons
of a time when you were someone else
yet you are you
and nothing less
