The short grey hair screamed into the night
Just so much has locked me in
I reach out and my hands are beat
The moon cries but there is no delight
Clouds wrestle with the wind
Trees step back in fright
Lights flicker and minds dim
Sadness wanders in
Resounding silence severs ties
Inward cries a lullaby
Are cries aware of timeless sighs
The shadows claimed the sounds of a whisper
So marches the clown up to the altar
Priests shun the approach
But whys pull the clown forward
To see the secret
Hidden for so long
By the dark light

A lot of powerful feelings here Paul.
Good write.

Poetry is not an opinion expressed...
it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound
...or a smiling mouth.

I will be pondering these words for quite sometime. Interesting Paul.   Chris
