PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Long pressing



Bears the weight of the falling world around me



Over tinkered days and hollowed years



Has the growing spiral of downward turn



Unwound before my eyes



As my heart and mind



Have weathered



And my soul and will



Have crumbled…bit by bit



To the sorrowed step of unkept time



And I



I have stood as if motionless



Looking on



While the blackened vines of ignorance



And the fettered thorns of foolish greed



Have smothered, as would seem, all before me



And while I sat in huddled desperation



Seeking not but to continue on in mere existence



A child passed by…



And suddenly I felt to leave all behind



And follow
