Thunder
By Leann Marshall
Give your heart to me
And I will give you my own
You said once
Then time forgot
Paths widened
Took me far away
So struck
So bold
Who knew then
The Earth is round?
One day
When
Youth becomes old
Homebound
Thunder tears from me
What I have held onto for so very long
Had thought myself strong
And yet
Opened hands are only there to give
Relive
So I must have wanted to,
Secretly
Eyes wrenched open
Clearly
Translucence becomes pain
Unwanted jewel
Sketched in silver rain
Collected in opalescent pools
From which to drink
Wash away regrets
And watch the lips of my own
Reflection telling
The incredible story of
You
