Poem: Flames of Hope

Post by Batesblogger »

With delicate absurdity we sculpt our path,
each line and crevice a triumph
of Mastery.

Over cascading ripples of a moons translucent
sighs.

In the midnight descent to quakesome
fear and tumultuous lonliness,

when Monsters from the deepest ebony
of the mind emerge.

There lingers the smallest glimer
of
Hope.

Dancing shadows, wind flickered flames.
Beckoning from sandy
parapets.

On a beach of scoured glass
and weathered waves.

Its with a indefinite sense of foreboding
we gaze upon the storm encroaching.

And as closes the final chapter,
extinguished are the lights
of
Hope.

The sandcastle is washed away.
