Libra and Gemini

by Uriel Tovar



Through the light of human urges

focused on the planet's turn

comes a glimmer of hope, unbroken

leading to a newer end.



Freedom

screeching by our grasps

leaves boiling blisters on our

hands.

The ropes which once held us together

pull us further to our end.



There was a time, there was a time -- we could have grabbed the reigns?

               Fragmented light sees very little

               through shattered lenses.

Now it cuts further in.





              You know neither the time

              nor the place.

Empty words

spoken to drowned men.

Better world would give better words.

Broken lines.



Climb higher than before

onto

that pedestal.

We were once that bright.

I echo Paul's comments. I love the gentleness in your poem and the imagery that doesn't sugarcoat the truth. Good work!
