Crickets sounding in the darkness of night,
Wings rubbing, vibrations, and starlight,
The singular identity of listening with no fright,
A beckoning moon, cloudless skies, reflection bright,
Dissipation, released anger, knowing the lack of might,
Alone, spiritual exercises commenced, never ending,
Eternal inflection, a paradigm of words, contemplation,
The simple, the humble lack of aspiring for greatness,
Overcoming the affliction of familiar contempt,
Familial discord, disorder, dissent, and exhuming,
Touching a heart, beating and bleeding, forgiven,
Forgiveness, an infant’s soft breath, the softness of death,
A waterfall cascading, a prism dispersing, lightly laughing,
Into a spectrum, colors dancing, individuality merging,
A vertical axis intersecting a horizontal plane, a Queen,
Parallel and repetitive, a multitude of refrains, a chorus in Latin,
Salve Regina mater miseri cordiae, vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve.
