Tears of Stone
When stone angels weep, do they weep stone tears,
Tears that crash, shatter and rebound in the night?
Or do their tears sometimes spatter, burn and sear,
Justice's slender, white-hot spears, that illuminate caverns, dark and drear,
Searchlighting guilty, hardened, frozen hearts,
That hide, that barricade, against fact and truth,
Fragmenting reality into bits, infinitesimal as quarks,
Rending and tearing veracity with a razor tooth.
Stone Angel on the cathedral wall,
When you weep, do you weep stone tears,
As well, does comfort and love, gently fall?
Do some feel your compassion, ever near?
Tears that crash, shatter and rebound in the night?
Or do their tears sometimes spatter, burn and sear,
Justice's slender, white-hot spears, that illuminate caverns, dark and drear,
Searchlighting guilty, hardened, frozen hearts,
That hide, that barricade, against fact and truth,
Fragmenting reality into bits, infinitesimal as quarks,
Rending and tearing veracity with a razor tooth.
Stone Angel on the cathedral wall,
When you weep, do you weep stone tears,
As well, does comfort and love, gently fall?
Do some feel your compassion, ever near?

Post a CommentThis is really a wonderful piece -- thanks much!
the comforts of stone Angels. I shall have to get to work on that one. Interesting composition.
This is awesome, as always (and what a lovely metaphorical, rhetorical question, too)!
