Child of an awkward age And hard to understand On nightly pilgrimage Within a darkened land I would no longer stay Where plastic wraps the rot
We have no more to say Your eye avoids my eye We know that we know not I shake my head you sigh And I go on my way To find what we forgot
Long shadows drown the day And sunken lies the sun Now night will turn the page A chapter now begun In darkness for the mage Whose work is not yet done
The road embraces me Here night and day are one No false light mocks my eyes I need no light to see Right through the world of lies Past false "reality"
Large round of applause well deserved here. Even a standing ovation is not out of line. This poem says so much and expreses the feelings of so many. Great work old friend.
I read this as a reflection on lost love -- "We have no more to say / Your eye avoids my eye" -- and an affirmation that ultimately, each of us has only our own wondrous self to rely upon. Yet we flourish best when we seek and receive the support of others. It's a tricky balance.
