Geri's Shadow

Casts its pall over us all, in the

Darkness unseen, we dance on invisible stings plucked decades
Before our birth who's negative resonance

Pits us one against all, all against each other.

We who are strangers, who are family, are friends at our cores,

Are who fight to her unseen, unseeing delight.

Our mother, a lonely little girl, grew up

In the frigid shade of a Witch mother, but

Some flowers never blossom in the cold,

A child never blooms under the penumbra of another,

We will never until we rise above
