Seven Layer Face

A Poem By Hannah Hendricks
Dedicated to Sierra Lynn Goss


To the end is no end
To burst and to bloom
To run is to mosey
From our impending doom

The stars are the teacups
The rain and the flowers
Each minute a second
Of this lonely hour

The torture is torment
Of this troubled soul
The friendly are missing
You are far from home

He gets you this dark one
His treats and his tricks
He haunts you in sadness
Your faint heart he kicks

The spring-time brings old hurts
Spider webs of lace
Remember who you were
Seven Layer Face


From two-face to freedom
Your heart is mending
But his mask-ed whispers
Your will is bending

Alone you are nothing
Just one you will fall
So rise up and stand strong
As one you are all

The grass is your straw hat
Your socks and your shirt
He still fights for your thoughts
To cause you more hurt

But arise, O sleeper!
A call from the throne
Remember your calling
You are not alone

The spring-time brings new growth
Spider webs of grace
Remember who you are
Heaven layered face
