A Muse Ponders

How dark then, is the tunnel
When first it was just a rut
Then a hollow
Leading to cavernous decline
Swallowing one whole

~*~

Circle me in and fully know
Light of truth’s but candle’s glow


~*~

Caliginous are the thoughts that dwell
To pull one in toward fiery hell
Clanging resounds that awesome bell
And night is but a dream that fell

~*~

Circle me in and draw the tone
For in shared light, never stand alone


~*~

I would offer this to you
How dark then, is the tunnel
When first it was just a rut
Then a hollow
Leading to cavernous decline
Swallowing one whole

If you circle round
The bonfire’s site
And write with fervor
Write toward the light
For in the distance
The flicker dwells
And escape is found
From certain hell

I think your muse has been digging deep...but the light certainly flickers brightly in this pondering.  Wonderful!

smiling---this is absolutely witchy!

"Caliginous are the thoughts that dwell

I like! very much!

(forgive my ignorance, but is this a "form"?)
admiring the construct here--this could work for me! mind if I save for future reference?
OF COURSE YOU DON'T---

Enchantress, my dear, enjoy, please, the travels your mind takes...

Martie, from the depths spring wells...thank you, my dear, dear friend...

Serene One...I delight in your comments...and curtsey...is this a form?....only a form of mind...if it works for you, it works for me

==================

Soleil ... IWIHWT!!
very very cool poetic ponderance poetess

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through,
There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking,
I passed that point long ago.
