The Resurrection of Oz

The Resurrection of Oz

A Poem by DannyLynne Riley

Would it be too hard... too much for you to taste...?
The Diamond droplets on her tear-stained face

Could you handle the truth of her Fire-Opal heart
And face the fact that you played a huge part

In the cracks you used to scale Alabaster walls
While you courted her secrets in those grand Emerald halls

Casting calls and honors in the pulling apart of limbs
And those coveted Ruby Slippers dangling from the rim

Of her sanity set in Sapphire and Gold
In Jasper fields of Poppies and snow

And the last Golden straw was in the Amber haze
Of a lost little girl on a yellow brick maze

And the Cache of horrors it took to retrieve
The Obsidian heart on the Tin Man's sleeve

And the little Brass house that was dashed upon the winds
Along with every last hope of going home again

As the ending score played, Tapping heels in the midst
To a story marked by the charms on her wrist

Was this the cost...? The final price for her sins?
Or The Resurrection of Oz...Rising within

This is a beutifully solemn piece, with a high degree of soulful feeling projected through your words.

You have truly inspired me, and kindled a spark in my soul.
