The Wedding

I haven't written in a long time  (but am trying desperately to start again!) So this is a poem I wrote in late 2007.

We're in this place

Of blinding things

We're in disgrace

We have clipped His wings

Lost in this crowd

Of sinful, earthly people

I'm screaming so loud

They are burning Your steeple

 

Show us

True life

Glorious

Save Your wife

 

To watch her walk so staggeredly towards the filling room

Tears now swelling my eyes as she stumbles to the Groom

"You admit, sir," the judge frowned down at the defendant, "that you assisted in the kidnapping and disappearance of the child Coral Syrda."

Adron's clear blue eyes met the stare of his prosecutor.

"I didn't assist, sir. I did it myself."

"So you admit that you are guilty."

"With the way you phrased it, sir, yes."

"Do you also admit to murdering Coral's father and uncle, the lords Genkin Syrda and Alsotta Syrda?"

"I did not murder them, sir. I killed them."

"Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Freedom Cry

more than bloodied scars
more than the wounds and mars

better than a joyful song
better than the happy throng

is the freedom cry

louder than the plea for help
louder then the cry itself

passion fiercer than the shots
passion greater than the thoughts

is the freedom cry

something that my heart inflates
something that my soul translates

something that my mind holds dear
something more important than the years

this the freedom cry

~to all AP -the other story will be paused for a while~

Aunt Myrda probably wouldn't be mad.

That's right, Aunt Myrda wouldn't be mad.

Rynere shut her eyes briefly. Yeah, she could think that as much as she wanted.

Aunt Myrda would be furious.

Rynere slowly paced around the tree stump before sitting down, basket at her feet.

She had picked the berries. She had gathered the wild leeks.
