Medicine Men

She walked in silence, small and humble
amongst the glass and rocks...
Her barefoot feet somehow unmarred,
in contemplation of the costs.

She fled her ghosts and repelled their whispers
And walked the long way home.
She called her friends who would not answer
She ran from all that she had known

She ran from all her fears and frights
and watched the ghosts of yesteryears
As they laughed her demons to mockery...
while she shed only invisible tears.

She traveled the path they would not grant her
So stubborn and defiant in her anger and fear
She knelt before the angels and martyrs
and prayed for abatement of this nightmare.

She climbed again and kept her pace
and ignored the voices harassing
She ran to remember the kindest of men
and mourned their violent passing.

She chased the angels as they ascended
Wishing she was one
She left the heroes she had known
for in her sorrow, they now were none.
