Within the Weeping of Wings

There’s a crack in the universe

A fracture in the fabric of time

And a hole in the strawberry sky

Sunrise rupture only we can heal

Wanting to see light and flames

Dripping from the horizon’s eye

To feel the burning of your wings

The blazing fire upon your back

Sense golden flowers, golden meadows

Thriving in the shine of golden life

And I glimpsed you there again

Upon that bed of scarlet suffering

As I stood by your side, cocoon shelter

As our wings wept in the anguish

Of finding and losing and wanting

So many countless ages searching

And here so close to our fulfillment

But there is a crack in the universe

A fracture in the fabric of time.

Oh dear Latifa! So grateful to have you come by again. You have been missed! :)

I found myself envisioning angels wounded in Celestial battle, one lying on the earth, his fallen brother at his side.
I found myself envisioning a man of intensity and passion wanting to feel life again after the death of his immortal beloved.
I envisioned a man in a crisis of faith or fortune or love.
Utterly beautiful.
And I am reminded of the leonard Cohen song "Anthem"
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."

What beautifully extravagant thoughts. Thank you so very much, dear poet! These words are more than me, and more than time will tell. Praying every day for this fracture to be healed.

I so deeply appreciate your encouraging thoughts. Wanting your week to be so inspired. The fracture will be healed one day.

This is so beautiful and sad. I think this could be adapted to song lyrics. Maybe sometime we can collaborate. I could write guitar chords and sing melody for something like this and send you the recording to make suggestions on.

[An owl on the moon]

What a beautiful thought! Thank you! And yes, this flows from a dark world in me. The healing is coming.

[gentlekindness]

Yes the healing comes but slowly, as long as you seek it. It is best to listen to your inner self, and inner child, and find the authentic part of you that knows what path you should follow.
If you follow what others think you "should do" it tends to misdirect you and lead you away from healing.
Blessings.

You are so right, Craig. There is a crack. The times we are in right now are crucial...this is so beautiful because it is so touching. Amazing!

[An owl on the moon]

May we all be able to bring healing and peace to this world. Thank you, lynn, so very much! :)

[David Scott]

Beautiful! The photo really lends a color to your words or maybe your words highlight the colors of the photo...? Either way, you created an ethereal experience.
You know I have to at least ask you to consider alternatives to "that bed"... 😏. The options are many...
Not to say this is the best advice, but I have found it very helpful in creating more powerful lines in u own work. Trying to never use the word "that" was one of the best writing tips I was ever given. IMO.
Try it, you might like it.
Be well.

[An owl on the moon]

David, thank you again for your review, and for your desire to see us all improve our writings, our word skills. Much appreciated! :)

[David Scott]

I hesitated at all because you are a far better poet than I... I just felt this "tip" was a good one so I shared... Glad I did not offend.
