b flat

By Jonas

awake!
like 5am
refreshed

i still
bear her tokens
even see her
on my sleeve

a raven flies
with the changes
in the wind

hangs high
on the western
wind

the same
lays the cypress
low

the flats again
as angels breath
and lighthouse
sings

for i am free like there never was a terrible dream
crescent wear crown monarch to the night with stars
in her hair
rose odour adorns the prayers of the raven kind
the curious and unimaginable
high god can hear the cry
will he will he
treat us as babylon our dreams unhinged and falling from
a new frame of mind

    *breathes deeply* i've admired this from afar for a long time. I adore the way that every time I come back to this there seems to be somethng i've forgotten.. so small piece of it that's somehow slipped away

  • A former member wrote: "rose odour adorns the prayers of the raven kind, the curious and unimaginable, high god can hear the cry," these lines sum up the entire piece; this is also one of the more creative lines I've read in some time... feels like morrison, blake... fish.
