Cycle Of Seasons
Passing the midnight hour
Beyond the golden dawn
Cycling I spin into the night
Within the darkness growing
Within darkened thoughts I flee
To wait into that once beyond
To seek into that forever gap
Where time lurks in shadows
Knowing I do not return

yes it is from a darker side Kathryn and Trine - sometimes when i find myself wandering in that world, it's easier for me to simply be there, than to try to get out of it to someplace else. in fact i think placing it where i can see it in the light helps me to find my way out. finding the good in that world helps to turn it. if that makes sense.
thank you Cheryl, your writing is awesome, i appreciate your commenting on this.
yes, Kyra, i tend to feel things intensely. sometimes that works against me in person because i appear to be so intense sometimes people think i am angry when for me i am just focused. yikes. so i work on smiling muscles - especially when i am out. it's funny how doing that makes it easier for me to smile. of course then sometimes people wonder what the heck i'm smiling about.
thank you Gautami - your encouragement helps me a lot.
Wrick!
i like that line a lot too Barbra.
luckily my head hit the grass and not the cement.
I remember the dark and the gentle buzz...the singing of the spheres...
Even after I came to
I was impressed with the memory
Of the utter peace
In that darkness.
This beautiful poem
evoked that memory.
Thanks, Wrick!
its i guess the only poem in gather that i have read 3 times ..
sometimes darkeness within is darker then the moonless nights ....and it just keep on feeding itself leading to a blackhole ......
thinking of such times brings a shiver in me ...
yes, i know how it's possible to get locked into that spiraling down cycle that leads ever on into darkness. i've learned some things about me and the nature of being human that help tho. one is that we can control our mind rather than our mind controlling us (one of the benefits of meditation). another is that if i find myself in those dark places it's good for me to let myself feel what that is like. so that i know it. in getting to know it, i also get to know things about me - that is a good thing too, even if some of what i find out is not always what i would like it to be. knowing it is one step closer to making choices that can change it. so as long as i dont let myself get trapped in that dark spiral, some exploration and delving is a good thing.
i hope those shiver times take place only with memory for you. have fun. it's always a good day to have fun. aloha - Wrick
some times when I am browsing
I just click on a group
from a long line in someone's
list then choose an a title
tonight such a wonderfilled
experience
nice,Wrick,and I hope you have found your way from the dark...
i think that you have!
:)
thank you Sheila - you are of course welcome any time. in fact i like that you've found this "almost" a year later and that you find it has remained vivid enough to evoke beauty. one of the defining worthwhile qualities of art and writing is if it can transcend - or stand up to - Time. i hope my work will. i wonder in and out of the dark - but that is ok. i've found that the light is much more intense and worthwhile if i also know dark.
thank you Lyn - i'm pleased when ever my work can bring back memories for a viewer - it's a connecting link that makes exploring the work of others worthwhile - imo. cool.
