i sing a song with the wistful wind
the haunting melody of the sinned
from the depths of my deepest soul
written on parched and ancient scroll
releasing the anger and the fears
mingled with sweat and many tears
and as the words float into the night
with shadows drifting ever so slight
through the darkness deeper than deep
over humanity resting, asleep
the spirit breaks free from all foreboding
reality changes, the old imploding
into another world, strange dimension
leaving me free to play with potions
of the impossible, even unheard
to places new, not before ventured
into a time where dreams form and dance
just out of reach but not perchance
for now i sing with the wishful wind
toward the place where my sins will rescind
"reality changes, the old imploding"
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly the place where we are born anew, a place of creativity, a place of honesty and potential. I love this change, revolution of spirit, Shadow!
Shadow's version of the Big Bang? (Oh stop! That's not what I meant!)
ReplyDeleteAnd it was just a little lizard I found in the garden. Nice to have around actually... they keep the bug population in check.
Lovely Shadow.What treasures come from inside your mind.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think you and I travel to the same places in our souls.
ReplyDeleteLoved this poem.
Prayer Girl
I am just always blown away that you create these day to day, truly a gift for all of us to share and behold...thank you!
ReplyDeleteG
I hesitate to write that a poem of yours depicts a certain season, or time. But what I see, feel, is mine, whether it be in your creation, or God's (the same?).
ReplyDeleteI see a beautiful beit ever small, picture: one of the meanings which Holy Week has for me.
Thank you for your sharing of yourself so willingly, and so daily!
I do not mean to be irreverent but I must say that I find this deep poem SEXY!
ReplyDeleteSinner or Saint it's all the same.
ReplyDeleteYou live in seclusion, or you seek fame.
You may be quiet, or quite profound,
But in the end, you're in the ground!!
Each day that you wake up...REJOICE!!
The spirit breaks free--thank goodness for that. Great poem, Shadow.
ReplyDeleteShadow, Your writing always moves me. today it was to tears. The last lines are filled with such hopeful expectation. It is good to see that in your writing. And I relate always a bit to you.
ReplyDelete"for now i sing with the wishful wind
toward the place where my sins will rescind"
When I read the writing of you or Rick, I can never decide which are the best lines to pull out. All are so well written.

Shads-that was so cool how you took us from wistful to wishful. I agree that it is of hope and playfulness. A nice prelude to the weekend! ~Rick
