The Cuckoos' Keep
Upon darkened hour,
excitement twists the hands of clocks.
Ticktock,
then a sudden stop!
Frozen in time,
the cuckoos' nest fails its midnight display,
as angels come out to pave the way.
Trapped within four concrete walls
one ageless, earthbound spirit calls
out, within a silenced sigh,
tears then flow from hollow eyes.
Behold!
An unexpected boom
bellows from the living room.
A seal revealed, a contorted portal
only made known to the likes of immortals.
The scarlet-cheeked cherub weeps,
in disbelief she cannot speak
A brilliant light begins to seep
deep into the cuckoos' keep.
Upon darkened hour midnight brings
an open aisle for the angelic wings
of ethereal entities baring halo rings.
Clapping her hands with sheer delight.
This angel will finally fly home tonight.
Upon daylight hour, dawn re spawns
and the cuckoo clock chimes
forever more.
