Aurora

_{Poem by [Linderel]}

Birds sing
  hear
the joyous serenade
echoing in
     the treetops

  wake
sad girl
  with eyes puffy
 and red-rimmed
    hiding beneath the blanket

taste the world
  on your tongue
 smell the rain
    in clear morning air
reach out and touch the sun

wake
 mundane princess
fallen into deep slumber
    of unspeakable hurt
  and too many broken promises

rise up
 drawing inner light around you
  as a protective curtain
burn the memories in candle flames
but never hide the curving signs
