Magnolia
Her trembling stare
Still pierces
Waking up and still dreaming
Your silent call left no echo
Why is all I can ask
The depth of emotion is like this magnolia tree
Blossoming white and too proud
Loud signs signal a wavering spirit without a voice
Your choice
And the fire you left burning
Your departing gift is too much to stomach
Legacy of foot prints
Come and gone like the fallen magnolia flowers
A circle of humanity
Broken inside
Connected by pain
My sorrows are held by the rain
Yet I wish it would thunder
And pour and pour
We still stand and hold the pain
In our bodies you remain
When does this cycle end?
When will this heart mend?
I tend
I tend
I sow and see
How we cannot be free
Untill all are released from the trauma we carry
Eventually ill know why
When I’m finished this cry
And processed what needs to die
Free us from the lie
Let the truth emerge
And I will purge
Go home safely
I’ll see you again some day
For now, all I can do is rest in this weary body
And light a candle for those that are still here
The rain is falling heavy now
The magnolia tree will grow strong this year
