Love is on an upswing

Taking off on a soft April breeze

Gliding high

Featherlight

As the jealous ground seethes

~

A hero’s broad arc glimmers

So fearlessly ablaze

Prison walls are razed to dust  

By the joyous screams of praise

~

The song fades with the dusk

As sparks rain in the dark

Giving back to the earth

Yet another mortal scar
