the dead of night

by Laura Doom

equivocate lullabies
cradle of mortality

lays solace to rest
suffer the child

populate idle dreams
nobody to blame

shatters illusions
a new day breaks

Quite the epiphany to wake up to. With every new day, the slate wiped clean, and a fresh start.

And so it goes on and on, idly depressing and subtly hopeful all at once. You are so much better with words than I am. ;o)

only a zombie would not be enthralled with the sounds broiling in this ode, which for a Pan would be to die for, save I equate them all with life. this poem is an opus to sound and signs the all of which are vital which are sporting in such that are dwelling here.

A new day breaks and shattered we jump from fracture to fracture cutting ourselves on close calls and fumbles until night weaves the world black together again and we sleep in anticipation of the early morning break on the next ‘rise. I miss reading you.

An old soul wakes, always glad to find your words.

this feels like walking through a partly remembered dream.
