Still
Rain rolled off her wings
Crystalized drops that broke
On the asphalt
As she sat
In hero pose
Hands put together
In prayer
Like two closed wings
In honor
To those
Who have come before,
Are here now,
And those
That will surely come.
She sat
In deep reflection
With eyes closed
As the winds rose
And thunder crumbled
Around her
Grateful for
The love of those
Who have come before,
Are here now,
And those
That will surely come.
For they
Have made her steady;
Rocks to rest upon;
Anchors to hold her down,
As the trees bent
The world turned
Her hair whipping
In tornado curls
As she sat
Still
Within this torrential storm.
