Lost Embers

Folder: 
KJyrie's poetry

I watched the ember souls of men stray by me

Wanderers in the dark

Dim lights engulfed in an abyss

Potential siguls diminished to this

 

I trod the fading paths of stars

Now faded in oblivion

Their auras just holes for night

The embers fall to these, castrations of brilliant lights

 

Over galaxies, around nebulaes

Energy surging

Distant suns beckon their child

Too far to hear their groaning

 

"We're coming," they proclaim

In their voices dulled by night

 While the suns fear they've been slain

Our spirits yearn for journey's end bright

 

But the elder suns beckonings are not.

Only flares of grieving pains

For the ember's lost to darkness

Never be seen again.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's about the souls of the recently dead trying to get to the ancients (sort of).  Please critique.
