to lie in sing

there is softer bed to lie in sing

of skin to tender soul in cherish

high in loft above the singer

floats the note

comprised of thought

in cooler bare of vein

as caught is caged in disbelief

of melody unwrapped

as paper parceled piece

released

as mind to float

in freer fall of gift

where sun is shine to light an eye

in favor fevered

flight of borrowed peace

to give such comfort to a spirit

pillowed in stars timeless fate

as call is gently heeded need

to give in life, plantations seed

Author notes

on 'Death Upon Us' by Smiley

i really liked the subtle ambiguity used and also the soft rhyme and flow was really nice also...
