Canopy


Silver birds, silhouettes on blackened sky,

conceal their flocks in ancient oaks

and dwell in nests of bone.


The fear, dwelling within every soul,

creates a dark canopy over the heavens,

brooding and ominous in a starless sky.


From morning until dark victory,

this fear is building an army

in the hearts of every man.


Only until the earth opens up and

scatters the silver birds from their broken trees

to fly aimlessly until the end of time


will the day come when the ravens

make their homes in sheltered hollows

and cease their vigilant sleep,

the dark canopy will lift from human hearts,

and the earth, again, will be free.



Check him out.
