The true mischief that lurks beyond the shadowed Path Is the constant reminder of a life long past As fate claims her victims and the songs of unjust Mouths sing on I will continue my narrow path And sing my song The embrace of the wind The sad times retraced The way the perspective seems to bend The beauty that we wait for in the end But I find myself fearing it again I turn to the cross and it fell to pieces On my trotting horse I ride above it It rots beneath us Further i press on in the warm welcoming cold Further i press on all the stories untold Exquisite beauty of a moon lit wood The sharp wind blows And further on I go My only map is in my mind For i have no place to go But what ever I seek I will find it in the moons glow The shadows dance to the song of the wind The leaves gently whisper the chorus And the branches will bend No longer an element out of place I am where I belong I have found a new faith I glance to the sky above to see the cloud cover The black that is black the grey which is grey and The white which is white Awakened from my slumber I continue on my path In a melancholy depression I press on Its all so clear to me This is where I belong |

Beautiful poem, Paul. Very dark, open, and real. 'Bout time I see one of your poems again.  Fox Back in 97 we burned our own souls in the midst of poverty. Never learned how to keep anything clean. |

wonderful! Great story line fitting nicely in poetic form. Loved it from beginning to end. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. |

No man's land. I've been there. I loved what you did with these lines. My only map is in my mind For i have no place to go But what ever I seek I will find it in the moons glow Write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Paul, I really enjoyed this poem, its very philosophical and thats what makes it good you can depict several different meanings from just one line! Truly appreciative ^*~Kicking Kim~*^ |
