Misty Tears

This is a recent poem, from this summer probably August 2014



Misty Tears

The hot rays of the sun
  thread themselves around the surface of the rock
The scorpion underneath
  holds its breath, incognito

Vapors rising in agony
  reach for the skies
Shouting with might un-ending
  desiring an outcome void of destiny

The blue agama sits on the rock
  contemplating the night
His color a mismatch to the ground
  bold he stands out

The cool breeze
  skies void of light
Silent is the scorpion
  holding its breath

The moon rising,
  misty tears in the sky
An omen to what has been
  and what is to come

To rise again
  in a new day
Not to what has ended
  but to what has begun

He dips his fingers in the night
  Not a drop of the sun remains in sight
Bloodless veins
  flowing with dry blood

What was
  is, and to be
The scorpion takes a breath
  and then silence
