The Light is On

Thoughts, Stories, The Poem

Fabled One

For years I scaled the tower wall
daring for a chance to feel the iron summit
and when I reached the top I found you
lounging in starlight and commenting on the weather
The distance beneath us vanished
and the world was there, bounded by a drop into nothing
but it was you, fabled one
who shattered time and burned the pieces
then poured the ashes in with the foundation
of this monument to a timeless world
So atop it all you reign and weep
for the broken days interred beneath your throne
whispering a eulogy for your own lost soul
and I, on my knees beside you
cling desperately to your every word

I wonder who this person is…

  6. Intriguing imagery! And heart wrenching.
    Your writing is beautiful, and after reading your comment about childhood books, I feel the same…the magic in those stories, never leaves, I think. And I still feel the same joy I did when i was little and wrote things.
