'Blackout' by Courney Leighton

Blackout

Where is your Grandeur, God?
Earthless, Boundless, Oracle of Despair.
           Where is your Grandeur, God?
                        Have you forgotten our Mother?
Oracle of Despair, I am your pawn.
Do I kiss those Heaven dropped darksome lips,
Or sing to console the bruised souls, untouched?
Do I plant seeds beneath the stones and regrow what has been lost?
          Can someone please save us?
                       Our bones are broken; dreams are shattered.
The Grandeur has been flung underneath the
Brush while sorrows echo into
The quilts of twilight.
