Untie lullaby

daily inventory
rains down on thee
thrust into a sea
of wretched
guilt
under a tree

dark and bare
and leafless
and under a comet
amid a breeze
rocks under the knees
they're sharp
while unsung
are all the inner pleas

plea a case
to the courts
on high
as the sea

til the sea of tears

goes dry
and the story
heaves a sigh

it's never
dishonest
but it's never
as promised
it's only
admonished
as mirrors crack

in their eyes

but angels
do hover
they shelter
they cover
their mercy
a mother
when the sea goes dry
and the tears
roll wry
with too much salt
and too much dye

there passes many years
with people running from their fears
never cradling
the dear
for their lullaby 

to hum near

but shattered in the darkness
playing a fiddle
humming a riddle
now the tears begin
to drizzle
one awakes
to feel a mess
and now lying there
in torn up dress
fallen out of a nest
that was bare
nevertheless

So build one with new
sticks
build one with
cracked and chapped
lips
delivering
a kiss
of hope
loosening
the fastened rope

for round and round
it tied
both round the neck
and hide
round and round
can't even cry
when the tears go dry
because you think

you can never untie

oh my ..

find the notes
in the sky
find the true
lullaby
