At night,
Beyond the distant darkness
Flickers a light
Reflecting tears that glisten in the moonlight
As shadows begin to fade
And echoes are dampened
Silence rises,
The land is still
The horizon stays clear
And nothing can be seen in the distance
Shimmering drops fall,
Pattering on the ground
Leave traces where they go
Waiting to be found
A mystery,
What happens beyond our gaze
Unknown to the eye
But never forgotten
(old)
This is a great poem. The words pulled me in and I got an image of pain and loneliness. Very good.
