Poem Artwork

 

Let me sink into darkness
Take me with you angel of death.


(Is that who you think I am?
Have you forgotten where you came from?)

But who are you then?
Who am I?

(Look around you, what do you see?)

I see threads shooting through the air,
like a web connecting you and me.

(How much further do they reach?)

They reach everywhere,
they share, they feel, they see,
shooting through you and me.

(Do you remember now?)

No I can't! What is this strange color of you,
like a million fireflies dancing?
Pins and needles of dark and light
in perpetual harmonious flight.

(Remember, remember, child,
until you do you can't come home.)

Interesting story that leaves the reader pondering what led to this situation and the banishment.
