113. The Current

5 1 0
                                    

Angels with broken wings,
Headless beasts,
Mary with a shattered cross
All stand fearlessly
For those whom they were
Meant to protect.
I can see the pain in their eyes.
I can hear the whispers.
That float across the wind to me.
I walk,
Hesitantly,
But unafraid.
I take comfort in the silence.
I want to lay in the grass
And stay in the sun all day.
But life takes me away
From the peace of death.
Time doesn't exist here.
Only outside the walls
Once I leave their boarders
I get swept up in the
Current once again.
