The Font Of Angels


Desperation to breed contempt

the moment shattered

time illy spent

 

Choices bartered and freedom gone

the reaper chanting

old righteous wrongs

 

Panic stricken the nights repeat

the days long orphaned

abandoned sheep

 

One promise lingers in chastened air

the font of Angels

— baptism’s prayer

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)
