#28 - The Darkest Night (a sonnet)

-


The darkness binds me in my fright

no sleep, just constant wandering.

Of mind and spirit burning bright,

beneath the blaze I’m plummeting

to ashes of the silent world

who dance around the windy shore

until the night begins to whirl

me into mighty waves that roar

like thunder of the restless mind

which strikes upon the silenced ear,

an endless sea that leaves behind

a chilling dream of fear.

But far away I sense the light

who comes to save me from this night!

I hear the voices of my future, whispering through the mist.

Tonight the clock ticks for another hour before it’s death, and crumbles to specks of dust drawn into the sky ending Time himself, who vanishes off to a parallel universe.

#22- The Forest Between Us

The silent woods are watching us. Across the forest, I call to you. But you have already drifted  far away from me.
