The Golden Sea


You were not fallible, just full of fiction 
 
You wished things that Heaven did not forget 
 
Where the angels slept, you created a war
 
Still you laughed when the sky fell 
 
 
When the girl embraced the lion, they both transformed into dust
 
This is true
 
It is true that the soul of the tribes were mysterious, 
 
Sleeping in a world that screamed only at dusk 
 
 
The wind was interrupted
 
The white smoke became weak  
 
The waters sunk into the earth
 
The dove that awaited, called unto me
 
 
We drifted past the weak, the sorrow and the despair   
 
The melodic sound of the trumpets cascaded my weary brain  
 
Like a broken compass or a delayed recollection, it was no longer present
 
Every bone and every muscle became stronger than concrete
