Unworthy Songs and Whispered Promises

Threads of the unavoidable
pull innocent angels into glittering cages
where they are forced to sing unworthy songs
to torture the hope
of our common imagination.
Tears of blood paint warmth
in the creases of my experience
as the lullaby of life
whispers promises of love
stronger than mountains of darkness.
A spot of light
the truth
shows me the direction
to the garden of healthy humanity.

“Doubt is the catalyst of discovery.”
Dartwill Aquila
