Hear The Secret Truth

One day Sarah stops singing to the sky
but the sky can still hear voice of her heart,
so the sky keeps reflecting secret thoughts
she tries to hide from other human beings
who capture song birds in cages of gold
so only they can hear the secret truth.

One day Sarah stands up in church and turns
to stare at hundreds of faces that glow
with faith that they will live after they die,
and shouts at them that they are all robots,
but they cannot hear the words that she speaks,
so she walks outside on the sunlit lawn.

One day Sarah hears the tree in the yard
tell her that she is the last fallen angel,
but she refuses to believe that lie,
so she applies to jobs at grocery stores
where she wants to arrange boxes on shelves
to ensure everyone has food to eat.

One day Sarah decides airplanes are gods
described in ancient myths of Greece and Rome,
so she waves to Jupiter and Athena
while folding cardboard boxes in the alley
where seven wild cats from the river woods
eat the food she pours in bowls every day.

One day Sarah becomes a warrior queen
when Tom finds her working in the stock room,
grabs her hips, and tries to yank her pants down,
so she kicks wildly to escape his grasp
and calls him rapist in the crowded store
then quits her job and runs out in the rain.

One day Sarah hears faceless angels sing
while she browses in the town library
so she applies for the job stocking books,
then smiles with joy as she glides down the aisles
to place each book in order of its theme
because they are doorways to other worlds.

One day Sarah sits in the coffee shop,
crowded with hipsters plotting revolution,
where she writes words with the plastic ink pen
along blue lines in the spiral notebook
for fantasy novel about young girl
who discovers she has Athena Power.

One day Sarah stands before the large crowd
gathered in the library where she works,
and reads from her published fantasy novel
about the average American girl
who saves the country from evil rich men
so everybody lives through liberty.

Orpheus grins with excitement as he steps up in line and hands Sarah his copy of her novel for her to sign, then hurries home to read her tale to his children.
