The Way of Thingsā€¦

How heavy this burden we carry
While under the hot and cold glare of sky lit eyes,
Searching alone in the forgotten dreams of others
For the paths of true rights and honest wrongs;
Sometimes I wonder if time knows its relevance,
And if so...
Could it still be impartial to the whispers of silence?

We walk amongst one another as strangers
But we all are branded with tattoo tears and blood
Only seen when the moon dips
And the sun rises to promises---
Promises we will one day embrace and understand;
But not before those final three beats,
When the heart at last will cease to be.

Marcel

Marcel, the one force of your poem
is that it be read...aloud...if only
in a whisper.

It must be read aloud.

It is a very strong poem.

Thank you.

Somehow those final three beats ring eternal...
Especially in the calm waters of those tears we wear...
Incredibly lovely verse here Keith.

Love & Light,
