PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A burning chest of dignity pulls him

along the ancient worn path into the valley

A heavy soul Burdened yet nearly freed

Watching others Waving from the shore



Along the dusty recesses of the valley cliffs

The failing light radiating through,

making golden silhouettes of childhood and first kisses

True loves lossed and journeys a new



visions of golden possibilities flash through mind

extinguished when sunlight leaves wrinkled faces

another traveler fading into growing shadow

another struggle to war against the darkening sunset



The defeated morning star falls from the fire above

lighting the cracked rock filled trek

rising wind raging through the eroded pathways

making ancient caves reveal forgotten tunnels



deep lit lead light, a beacon for those who remember

call to the wondering soul daring entry

casting no shadow of ancient existence

Forever calling regardless of birthright



Captured, echoes of the past vibrate around him

trapping the true essence and blocking evolution

growing until the pain of explosion frees him

wounds re-heal, then re-wrap him back into his unborn womb



melting and becoming surrounding familiarity

melting the ice which extinguishes the flame

taking strength from the weakness of vast experience

floating to the ground for one last embrace



Heavy eyes of a waking dreamer dreamt

laying down to rest his name and his head

into the soft blanket of comforting numbness

sewn back into the eternal pattern of cloth
