    In Essence My Life

    In Essence my Life

     

    The sun is up, but it is

    darkness shadowed by eclipse.

    The air is calm, but the wind blows.

    I stand alone at the edge of my dream,

    lost in the labyrinth of my mind;

    while my lips touch gently

    the lips of a rose

    and my eyes see the blood

    drip from its silver

    thorns.

    very beautiful, I got lost in the words. It seems very symbolic and loses one in its melancholy tone.

    Thank you again for reading and commenting

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
