Redemption

Redemption - come what may,
with intentions of the pure,
words mean nothing,
let actions be the cure.

Time is readily consumed,
to build a house of trust,
but a slight crack,
might reduce it to dust.

Even when the house is rebuilt,
it will never be as it was,
if only we have known,
never would there be a cause.

A life seeking redemption,
a solace that might never come,
a bird snapped off its wings,
that dreams of touching the sun.
