Cathiard

Calm
Aching
Torn
Hissing loud
Riverside
Dawning on her eyes
Riverside
Changes permanent
The water's running calm
Aching hands ashore
Streams are filling in between
A familiar cry
Tearing through the morning
The loudest sound of the universe
Savage prisoner
Fled towards the light
Candles welcome your arrival
But summer days are gone
And by the time you'd noticed
What the sun inflicted, you were on fire
You're on fire
Ill
Arms out
Rid
Digging itself down, deep down
Old demons scratching the surface
Unclean hands intertwine
Benign was the solitude
It feeds the powers that flicker our vacuity
Loose,
All damage left behind strays
Storms
Drenching barren grounds
Scars
The scars in the face of God
Align
S h e g a v e h e r f a c e t o t h e w a t e r s o f t h e r i v e r
While freedom's tragedy keeps shortening the ends
Memories come to life
For your relief
Tonight
