footprints in the earth.....
Eternal Night
One night in too many
A walk through time
Brought me to the futility
Of reason, of grievance
Or hope
Each passing sequence
Is a shadow of what
Was before
What will be again
One solitary pylon
Crowned irresolute
At the end of the
Path
Beaten, trodden, dustpath
Refuse like rebellion
Stilted refusal
The world must be born
A new
Man is akimbo to fate
Man is helpless to love
Man is chained to the breeze
To law, to norm, to order
To the first words of creation
What eveness in darkness
The suns of perdition
Shall pass away
The moon's crescent
Is a promise of peace
Life is reborn
In an eternal night.
A walk through time
Brought me to the futility
Of reason, of grievance
Or hope
Each passing sequence
Is a shadow of what
Was before
What will be again
One solitary pylon
Crowned irresolute
At the end of the
Path
Beaten, trodden, dustpath
Refuse like rebellion
Stilted refusal
The world must be born
A new
Man is akimbo to fate
Man is helpless to love
Man is chained to the breeze
To law, to norm, to order
To the first words of creation
What eveness in darkness
The suns of perdition
Shall pass away
The moon's crescent
Is a promise of peace
Life is reborn
In an eternal night.
