That Bears Our Name Poem by Eric Cockrell

That Bears Our Name

Rating: 5.0


i can only taste scars tonight,
ashes, and blood turned to wine.
that old tree, cut and fallen,
the sound of wings long absent.
the web is empty,
and even the wind doesnt reply.
the garden mourns its time of passing,
and the plow is left alone.
sometimes we wake up homeless,
hungry without needing to eat.
to find that we are orphaned,
by the very heart that bears our name!

Life is like this, Eric. we have to go and talk to the people, not waiting to get introduced, when we speak through the whistle, even the air may respond. an interesting poem!
