Life's circle

Lingering shadows. ...

It is midday warm bright ...

still darkness lingers...

yet somewhere here....

ashen, fallen..

weakened, sombre ,angry in corners...

saving itself for when...

the shadows lengthen..menacing...

.

It is of now...a far cry

from the brooding melancholy...

it stokes in the hearts that behold...

it's unsmiling visage...

watching it's terrors...

a second nature of it ...is to strike...

when dreams grip the unconscious...

in trance like holds..

hunting for truths that come out...

silent footpadded ,unfettered ....

growing in uneasy stature...

waiting to be heard...

caressing wisps of soul before...

the enveloping darkness...

grasps vicelike these voices...

so unafraid ,smothering breath tight...

camouflaging them in lies so wile...

.

Shadows beckon beguile ...

buried in....

walls ,brick by brick growing tall...

the truths falling to depths...

an unknown unclimbed abyss...

gulfs of time, mind ,matter...

.

Darkness triumphant, laughs....

for a while....

the soul light breathing a sigh....

as day breaks darkness's throttle...

whence it hides once more....

leaving for the shadows....

again in helpless limbo....
