A story?

How about a song

--

One of a spirit seeking the ancient promise of belonging.

--

My mind rejected as my heart yearned

trans-imposing the image of my greatest ally

onto the planes of my most feared foe.

--

I battled reason

With Weapons forged in faith.

Surrounded in Silence

That swept me away

--

The beat of betrayal beckoned

My feet tapped the tune 'forgive'.

Melody met mourning

screaming made me sing.

--

Soothed by a lullaby of lost lyric

My anger crumbles away

--

Not too long ago

I watered and watched grow:

A Boy into a Man

Monstrous in strength and cold

--

All the while, I slipped away:

A Spectator

Into a Servant

Until all that remained was a Spirit offered on the altar of ego

--

His iron fists

Tore body from mind; mind from soul

my broken fingers

Held on until they were forced to let go.

--

A story?

Once upon a time,

I loved you

Until there was Nothing left to love

Nowhere left to go

--

So I loved love itself

Calling my own arms home

--

I found a Warrior in your wake

And loved the Woman once lost as your Witness

Sometimes I cry for you,Cain.

But I am Abel-

--

To forgive and let go
