Metanoia (2016) Poem by M.W. Styner

Search the past

Search the future

With poison lashing at the cure
Fold in chapters with unknown faces.

Fingerprints by permanent stains only the stars can cover with blue laces.

Search the heart

Search the mind

It is not our existence that captures the rainbow.

But only the air intertwining with our halo sees our shadows in heaven's paradise.

Search the petals

Search the soul

Then each second clinches the tear of lost sessions.

Dwelling in the fragrance that silence the essence.

As the color fades from Jeremiah's presence.
