Soft on Deceitfulness (Midnight Sparrow)

Misty eyes fluttered open
tears like dew upon his lashes
the storm long settled away
yet little bursts of lightning flashes

Just silent gestures towards the words
that loom forever etched in stone
small cries emerge from parted lips
silent for he's lying alone

Invisible to all that’s lively
gloomy grasps his trembling hand
he wipes the stone with quivering fingers
as to chase the words out of this land

He cries so loud the stone is silenced
the raven words are at an end
his heartbeats stops for just a moment
so broken it may never mend

So lying still he welcomes water
the rain to wash his pains away
and crouching low a living grave
forever still is where he'll stay

Eyes above him hold painted tears
though his death holds a slow demise
his body stone and forever frozen
in mourning never let to rise

yet his spirit molds out of his body
a sparrow which has winds to fly
he visits her when all are resting
yet still lies their smoke-filled and high
