A Child Of His

~ Frank Solanki

I saw the summer lose her warmth

I saw the winter raise her head

All the flowers lost their charm

All the trees — they looked so dead

And I didn’t know why

…

I heard the angels shivering

While the heavens were trembling

The nasty wounds within myself —

Those echoes were resembling

And I didn’t know why

…

I caught the Devil and I asked him

“I am just a child of His

Spare me or kill me

But don’t leave me hanging like this.”

…

The winds whispered soft’ to me

About the blood they carried free

All through her lamentations

Not a word came back to me

And I didn’t know why

…

So I set off, I walked the earth

Rising above the frozen dirt

I kept the secrets to myself

Of my pain, my grief, my hurt

And I didn’t know why
