A stirring in primeval shadows
given out to dreams that fell from the sky
blind eyes know only the promise of light
and grasping in the shadows to find it
These are they who drink from the fountain of consciousness
who live and die and live again
watching millennia cross the skies above
this world spinning in death and pain and shadow
desperate only to escape the crying out
for some light to pierce through the night
and to walk where shadows do not fall
under a black sun that never sets
away on the edge of horizon’s downfall
out beyond the sea upon whose empty shores they stand

Is the WordPress desktop website running incredibly slowly for anyone else recently? I’m trying to figure out if it’s just an issue for me or not. Hope you all are well, cheers!

I like how each line stands alone yet works excellently to create a powerful poem. Well crafted.

Your poems are always so powerful! After a few silent readings I like to read them out loud. They have such wonderful cadence!

I am having this problem too, perhaps a little bug is flying by, who knows! And what a wonderful soulful poetry you’ve written here. Also, I love the picture you have chosen to accompany your art.

Hopefully the bug moves on soon! Good to know it’s not just me (: and thanks so much! Every now and then I stumble upon a picture that I just know is the one to go with a poem
