Below the surface

Below the surface

Rushing past they flew, whistling through the ears
Across wing of bird, travelling through the years.
Feathers held tightly with ink dripping from quill,
words drifting unheard to land upon blooded spill.
The pains of carried past would never be enough
to satisfy crowded shores below the naked bluff.
Jeers and waving fists at sentence too unsafe to hear
as lynchpin was pulled swiftly out of unknown fear.
The raging seas quieted as stone splashed within
to settle upon seabed restlessly inside its hard skin.
Waiting for the ripples made on the surface far above
spreading seeds of future on current of hidden love.
Once escaped or set free there will be no more return
as detractors and extractors will all eventually learn.
So little needed, so small the steps forward can be
taking the almighty and forcing to bend the knee
Frosts of permanent position losing control of skies
melting under soft foot, exposing the thousand lies.
Nothing more needed than to bring forth the pain
and soon enough they leak, tears down the drain.
