"COR"

Mercies kept as quiet city roamed,
Standing alone
A pen at her side
Buns blazing---quiet spirit morns
New day till sunset
Love’s open door.

At last quiet dawn
A penny that night well spent
At last faint hope
Tears for Juliet
At last simple pride
Of past triumphs won.
No more to sorrow----give rest
As he took gun in hand.

Simple hope -----quiet detachment
Of times long lost
Of peaceful hearts now rent
In anger------in lust
Seething------they sing at night
And you fairest maiden-----ran home
Peace to come at last?
Peace to come at last.

One shot -----one kill
Or so the lunatics say
Warriors sprung listless
Clamoring for hell’s door?
Striving for heaven within
Don’t give up.
Never give up.
Striving for heaven within.

Darkness lifted-------------
Kindness broke through. Night
Desolation finding
Reality waited no more.
Choices to be changed
As hope finds herself at home.
Mercies kept as darkness lifted
Running-----------
Running----------------
Sprinting-----------------------------------------------!!
Love’s open door.
