Poem Artwork

 

In dark pursuit man will choose to walk
Does not seek the better way
Of higher morals people tend to balk
Seek the night instead of day
Until time comes when tongues run out of talk
Nothing of worth left to say

One uses the time twixt twilight and  dawn
To gather data for new goals
Hoping to escape what evil has  spawned
Subtly trying out new roles
Like the groundkeeper cares for a new lawn
The dreamer tends to his soul

There dwelt within the mans compelling eyes
Mystery of dreams  filled with  pain
The pigment seemed to deepen them with lies
Made  life's illusions  nothing  gained
When daylight hours lit them with surprise
Prayers for rain to wash away stain

The road ahead though littered with regret
Shows hope not temerity
Relieved with no need to worry or  fret
Dreams find new vitality
The time has come for the light to be met
Looking foward to eternity

etw

civilization is transforming ... lets just hope it will survive its sojourn ...there's lots of evolving to do ... maybe mankind will be pulled into a consciousness "wormhole" and accelerate its pursuit of enlightenment ...



excellent poem ...

Light and darkness is very beautifully and subtly present throughout this poem. I like the depth and power of your word choice.

Je ne regret rien!!!!! only that which upon knowing the light, I have not tried for the better, hope and forgiveness at the last moment are a fools wishes! A good write from the soul and for the soul. Hugs! Jasmin Horst

I hope that the light they see is not Rose's eighteenwheeler going 75.
Seriously, one read and read what you post and gets the sensation that you are talking to the personally reader, few have that knack and less touch other souls with their words.

ET,
the lesser or least line of resistance is always the more comfortable for those who don't wish to try or are too selfish, and yet there are those who rise up and have courage to face challenges, and that courage comes through in the final two lines of this worthwhile poem.
