Merrill

Maybe my imitation of you will.silence his voice

Merrill

in the empty nest of time
An egg lays dormant

' shatters

From the heat
of its mother'sΒ  call
Echoing what we already knew

' birth

To.an unholy
Mirror called regret
Spawning an imageΒ 

'Trinity

Three but one
Creator, son and spirit
Infused in our souls

'forgottenΒ 

We still.remember
As His breath
Is etched on our minds

'Across

The still universe
standing on the edges of oblivion
In the empty nest of time....
