Earth writes –
with each moon a new line,
ever telling of the season’s dye.
Life’s blood spattered in death,
igniting in birth.
Endless, the spiral’s churning -
disdain for failure, desirous of breath.
Strength expels weakness,
feeble minded trappings fall ankle deep.
One step over the old color’s stain,
curious discovery of awaiting trails.
Vanity gives way to truth –
inviting all travelers to the summit’s rise.

Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

SO good to see you found your way back here~

'One step over the old color’s stain,

I REALLY like this idea ...~

I found this quite a strang one.

Blood red moon, images of sacrifice, pagan.

with each new moon...
yes, a new tale, a new beginning
a chance, perchance, to begin anew
rather than simply be
recycled?

nice to meet you, Robert

"strength expels weakness"
true. and yet weakness can, with time, metamorphorsize to strength. one but has to look around to so see the process. interesting write.

The true poet writes to express, not impress.
