The Days After

The Days After
Heart, soft like water
Clothed in darkness
Bleeding quietly
Eyes that would not see
Could the days after be
Without “Let there be light?”
Eyes that would see — blindness
Ah, blindness
Maybe more kindness
Perhaps more silence
Ah! More patience
Possibly more change
I lace my boots
Wind dusty, heart heavy
I run these paths of fractured stars
And walk the rest
Maybe I am broken again –
Only somewhere new this time
Yet, I am a pilgrim
And the light gets in still
