Man - lay down arms

steps forward 

marking territory

linking chains 

that wove and bind

the heart forever in bondage

grey saplings rise 

from all their dew

small offerings made 

to the great gods of change

bewitch 
we all came

stronghold of doubt

to sabotage wonder

wrap the clever guises hence

wrap time in memories 

beholden loss

warriors of dreams

care not for sorrows seams

but for the pure fruit of day break

where lightness beams

lay down arms

bear fruit

plant thy seeds

know the soft embrace of thy mother

as she speaks 

through tears of rain

and soft cloud
