A Parting Gift (Not too sure what its all about dont worry its all explained below) She rides through clouds all bruised To fall angelically- But not from grace Each flap did gulp a stormy breath Now down to a blackened face. …. I wait, I am the spirit, Trapped as I am In this colourless Prism Sadly, It is my fate, But what grace is this? A slap, a ripple To adorn my blackened face; I beg she stay I move See I touch every shore Of what To who do you wait for? She loves me She loves me not, Stay, stay a while Don’t don’t go, See, see my face I look at you I am this timeless place, I beg, see look, I beg for more Watch A ripple, first one, then two now four, She loves me She loves me not You slap again, a ripple, but so few You go… I’ll wait for you… …. (The storm abated she rides again, now high in a clearing sky…) A feather descends from her quilted radiance To touch the place with out a face A signature of remembrance, strange Like the others To sink without a trace… She loves me… UK Hero To those who are not too sure as to what is happening: A swan having flown through a storm flies down to rest on a lake (inhabited by a spirit) her feathers ruffled by the storm drop one by one into abyss. Unknowingly she feeds the spirit some hope. She loves me, she loves me not, the spirit he counts each single feather dropped. Has he been released? |
