Within The Wings - Cavities

Of birds so light their throats can sing

Freedom waits within the wings

The cautious wade in shallow streams

Or await the clinging grasp of dream

Never learn to soundly sleep

Wait with openness to clasp the hands of those you meet

«I will show you fear in a handful of dust»

How could you abandon underprivileged youth

Close the door

And against this barrier

Hold with justification

A misnamed fragile one

Unnamed, unsaved

Is another day awake

The conscious mind to know this feat

Your shadow at evening rises to meet

And «the dead tree gives no shelter

Where the sun beats

For you only know a heap of broken images»

How then else are we defined

Sons of gaia, daughters of man

Your shadow at morning strides behind

Awake another day

Scales rooted in another’s cracking frame

And who i am is weighed

When life is one, a player’s game

Piece of gain in mind

Father’s lot maintained

With no sweat from angled brow

Seekers stand crowned

Until the nameless cease to bow

And tides carry us forward

Reasons guide movement

Unless you’re wrapped in doubt

A body without spirit
