madrigal of my woven solitude

will the song resonate twice
for this faithful warrior,
wounded
shield beaten, sword broken
alone a shadow standing
blooded in the midst of the battleground?

this drifter without a home
spare this dreamer,
this dreamer who gave away all

will the song resonate twice?
for this wing broken
for this lullabye out of rhyme
this painter who owns none but the sky.

will the song resonate twice
for this heart who deeply loves
this sincere beating
this solitary affection?

for this soul forgotten…

will the song resonate twice?
