My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Song

The Ave Maria
is a mantra
my rosary beads a ribbon
tethering me to Earth.
Bird song is a prayer, too
though without pity
and shafts of sorrow.
La Guadalupe chants,
"Am I not your mother,
what is there to fear?",
but this veil of illusion
and self-inflicted scars.
Off key, I sing at sunrise.
I break my chains.
