Sorrow; The Sparrow & The Willow Tree

I walked into that space of time and place

where trees grow tall, and there was no one

-no one at all.

Where silence was complete and perfectly still

Where the sun was blocked

Where darkness filled

I screamed so deep it echoed through my walls

It echoed down the halls

Until there was no echo

-no echo at all.

I crumbled apart poured

into a bottomless pit poured

into an empty well

where no one knew to find me

it was my daily hell

spent and hollowed Sorrow laid facedown

my hands and fingers searched the forlorn ground.

I pulled and dug and ached aloud once more deafening silence melted into my shattered core

…and I can’t breathe

…and I can’t be.

Then thunder boomed and roar

it seem

to have awaken

the Sparrow and the Willow Tree.

In my dirt stained palms roots appear

and the Sparrow whispered, you will see.

One breath in… one breath out

was the only sound

it was just me.
