The Aftermath

By defrage

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Solace  sleeps  deep  in  a  forgotten  lake, Lost  certainly  in  the  commotion  of  today, Lies  frozen  still  under  a  purple  sky, As  lines  of  chaos  lead  the  world  astray. And  in  the  aftermath  a  new  dawn  wakens  our  senses. A  distant  destruction  becomes  a  waft  of  smoke, Sailing  through  the  fluorescent  fields  of  time, Reflecting  modernity’s  hopeless  path, But  safely  departed  in  its  own  pure  rhyme. And  in  the  aftermath  a  new  dawn  wakens  our  senses. A  whispering  wind  weaves  between  the  reeds, Immerses  them  in  the  knowledge  of  being, Exposes  the  false  masters  of  field  and  meadow, Opens  perception,  creates  the  all-seeing. And  in  the  aftermath  a  new  dawn  wakens  our  senses. Written January 19th, 2002 © on Jan 19 2002 12:38 PM PST    10 • 0 • 9
