His Canopy

by David Zurick   May 22, 2006


The safe haven upon the canopy,
Rested itself on top of the hill.
Clouds blooming behind it's silhouette,
The Sun's laughter eased to a smile.

This was the turning point for humanity,
Gold softly colored the heavens.
Greed had finally found another home-
Refreshing and relieving, we have yet to die for it still.

Covered in shade, I stood away,
Watching the latest of days fall into space.

There was a ticking sound changing tone,
Increasing it's volume to my questioned thoughts.
It's trails of echos,
Spoke with images while I stood confused.
The hands once held,
The energy no longer circulating within me,
Echoed into my ears like perpetual water drops to a sink half full.
Relentlessly and undeniably I began to crave
Once more.

I selfishly conquered the hill,
Escaping the shade until the holy aside rose from behind.
"Relieve me" I spoke aloud, to an etheral trial.
And without a second, I heard no more,
Saught no more,
In this world.
My mind floated away,
Catching a wind of a newer conciousness-
With my greed satisfied, I craved no more
In this world upon his canopy.
