Standing proudly in the center of the grassland
A lady with eyes of copper,
Feet of stone,
And a heart of gold, rest in her hands
The wind is the only true friend
For a long while it seems,
As deer frolic and play
In the cool November air
Geese sing their song
While flying ahead and beyond
Of what she cannot seem to understand
Immobile for the rest of time,
Even so
She’s always watching with a heavy empathy
For she knows what is to befall this beautiful place
Black soot will fall from the heavens
Tainting her white negligee
Her body will be stained, corrupted by soiled hands
Eyes once innocent
Will be filled with the abrasion of every woman’s shame
Her feet, chipped and hammered to
Will be the response of those in pain
Beyond their normal years
And her heart of gold...
Ripped from her considerate hands
Long ago
When the war first started to show
When men took what didn’t belong to them
When they stole what was so graciously bestowed upon them
When they took the spirit of a woman
And broke her so thoroughly.
Someone who was given the mind, body,
And soul to keep after them
To love them without a disgrace
With blinded eyes, and compassionate sensitivity
What are they given in return?
A shattered remain
Of what we once were.
Just a hated image
We see in the mirror
Looking back at us,
With those tear filled, copper eyes.
They shed upon her porcelain skin
Ravished by unclean minds, and rusted with lustful gaze
When she moves,
For the first time in all eternity,
She reaches down
And presses her hands against her stomach
And looks at herself yet again
In that damned mirror
And smiles
As her posture freezes
Forever more.
Awaiting the day
That man will receive
the pure blanket of illumination
Unveiled there enclosed ignorant eyes
And see what they have done
So that they can bow there heads in humiliation
Of what them themselves have cursed
ahead all of humanity
But she still will be
there in the meadow,
Hand in hand with her son
That she loves with all her soul
And teach him the way
Of graciously praying a thanks
For all he has received
Watching him as he grows
And the miracle that he is
His smile
Completing the face
Of the future she hopes
Will convert away from the path taking place
That we all have tripped down on
Giving away to a new light
For the little ones you hold dear
Imagine a place where
They don’t have to fear the world around them
Happily living there lives,
Walking down the street worrying not
If they would make it home alive and well
She is saddened when it is his time to leave
But she knows
That the light that shines within herself
Is in her little boy,
Who will also teach and love
Others
Venture out into the world with the highest of hopes
Let’s please not break
the only trust we might have
For a renewed day
Give love to the ones around you
Help guide them in the right direction
Because true love is not a thing you are created from
And it is certainly not something you can seize with grubby paws
It’s the way you treat others
The respect you have for them
And their morals
Forgiving and forgetting
The misdoings you receive from them
The past is the past
There is no reason to feel poignant
Of something that is out of your hands
Just love
All you need is love
