Near golden sunsets

Basking in my silence,
Livid with my dreams,
Enveloped with impatience;
Pained by what life seems.

Drifting through the dark,
Questioning my inner bounds;
I've come to hate the stark
Reality of life's grounds.

Burdened by soul's cancer,
Dying but not yet dead;
I seek to find those answers
Drifting through my head.

You'll find me in the shadow
Of what I used to be;
Dawn has run ashallow,
Dusk has conquered me.


-*-*-

Cancer kills us all.  I'm not immortal after all.

Well done Philip. But doesn't dusk turn to night which turns to morning and a new day with new hope?

It's all about cycles...sighs and hugs.

You are on my list and in my heart, sweet thang.

Masked -- dark dark.  But well said expression of the mood that I know we've all seen.  Here's to illumination in the new year!
