Echo

Azure was the sky
When we conceived, nay
Conjured you
For it was magic in magic
A moment full of God      
Fireworks flashing             
The making of you     

Azure was the morning
When you came forth
Quiet and naked
Like the African desert dawn
With a shock of red hair 
Like Daddy's
And a cry like the phoenix song

Azure was the day   
When the world fell and you with it
Beyond reach in your utopia
With your marksmen, and your footmen and your battle hardened warlords   
When the bullet pierced your psyche
And brought you peace.  
You have come home.
