in eventide, when the soul’s passage ends

Heaven’s sail unfurls as bruises bloom

Clouds release a mourning rain

Framed in a blowing kiss

regret steals memories

with broken cries

confusing smiles

The living

feeds on

loss

 

Loss

feeds on

the living

Confusing smiles

with broken cries

regret steals memories

framed in a blowing kiss

Clouds release a mourning rain

Heaven’s sail unfurls as bruises bloom

In eventide, when the soul’s passage ends

 

the ground shifts

    Love the way this descends and ascends again with a shifting meaning.
