Saddest Song Of Love

Though no one understands songs of her heart 
which seem like uncanny shrieks of night owls, 
she walks narrow trail among twisted beech, 
then gazes in green water of the creek 
to savor passion that glows in her heart 
that bloom as white bloodroot flowers from dirt. 

Opening envelope of thin wolf skin, 
she reads letter written by Lucifer 
with blood of angels on butterfly wings, 
then breathes shimmering emptiness of light 
that fills her heart with joy to be alive, 
so she sings enchanting song of respect. 

Stone by stone with gentle hands of thought 
she deconstructs illusion of the Self 
till she become dim shadow of her name 
that vanishes when the glass sun of time 
shatters on horizon of intellect, 
then dissipates in smoke from cottage hearths. 

Strange scent of wet leaves, pungent in night air, 
asserts aggressive pulse of wrangled hope 
that drives her to express in wordless tunes 
excessive wisdom of the hollow stone 
when she performs her saddest song of love 
that cracks foundation of theology. 

Shocked by the subtle shine of innocence 
on moon-ensilvered waters of the creek, 
she assembles new face of gracious trust 
from lithe prismatic waves of nothingness 
to wear as mask when she walks streets of town 
past strangers who all seem to know her name. 

Yet purple bergamot blossoms of truth 
unfold proportion of vivid desire 
designed to connect precious gratitude 
with ghosts of demons trapped in trunks of elms 
that swirl around her in celestial mist 
while she glides gracefully beyond her grave. 

Inevitable state of longsuffering good 
twangs harp strings sharp with subtle hollowness 
when star-eyed Seraph appears from her heart, 
so she remembers how we strive for good 
at cost of carelessness through flash of dawn 
based on reason of zestful agency. 

Curious about clones of her lost self 
that appear as silhouettes on grassy hill, 
she strolls columned cathedral of bright woods, 
suffused with slanting rays of divine light, 
and sings with harsh voice of sincerity 
that causes ghosts to shiver with desire.
