The Shadow

Like a dark shadow fell down

 From the bright outer sky,

Demise is the next phase of Life;

A transform of dress, a disrobing;

A creation into the unborn again;

Beginning where we ended;

 Opening where we closed to rest;

It is a crossroad of infinity;

A bountiful of everything,

 to hold again for nothing.

The end of the unreal,

And the beginning of the real

Carry me on your shoulders

Let me enjoy the touch

My passion and pleasure now on

To place my cold lips on yours…

Entrusting my body on you

Love is so kind and not blind...

Life In Death Mariner

I feel like I've been on a journey from life

to death and back to die and be reborn - It's

a mellow view, bookcases life into bearableness

and an understanding of pain and joy as

inescapably to be embraced

 

I enjoyed reading this four times ~A~
