Fading Luminescence
The lights in the near distance
down yonder way,
past Ordiorne Point
but before Star Island
are so close, as to manipulate the mind
but yet so beyond our selfish reach.
Separated by a blackness so perverse
so deep
that it disenfranchises the mere mortal
from extending his consciousness and desire out to them.
Thus leaving a void as black as the churning sea
and as dark as the cold, moonless night,
leaving not even the slightest glimmer
of hope
of promise
that it will be acquainted
and conquered.
But perhaps as mere mortals bound to this earth,
buy infinite constraints
and ignorant, empty thoughts
there is no claim of ownership and possession.
Perhaps this entity, this thing beyond our grasp,
is forever out of our manipulation,
taunting us with a defiant luminescence
as a rebuke to all that is claimed
as belonging.
The Road
The road stretches for eternity
concealed by trees
and shadows
bounded by moss covered rock walls and other human implementations
constructed of human ingenuity
but resting
on an endless expanse
of earth, sky and imagination
that stretches far beyond
the comprehensive realm
that bounds us to this earth Mysterious Brillance
The sun
shines down upon
the fresh fallen carpet of white.
Undisturbed by human interference
and molestation.
It reflects the rays
back into a turbulent mix
of white and blue
that swirls above mankind
as a sign of that
which may be
impending.
In an eternal gesture
of peace and hope
this reflectory blanket
of comfort
shines through the barren apendages
the dense quagmire of green
who the limitless
imagination of human mystery
and desire
to create what we as mortals
do not comprehend
or claim as our finality. |
