Memorial to the East

By lupus tenebrae

 



East,
you’re pointed
at the river’s end,
where no bridge stands connected,
and water, like rolling plains,
laps at the shoreline,
bringing hope,
peace.

Peace
comes in waves
and empathic links,
true to these felt surroundings
which are seen in shades of blue,
mock versions of sky,
with jet trail
tales.

Tales
told over
and over once more,
in cyclic patterns per evening,
and final chapters per twilight.
never getting old,
never straying
far.

Author's Note:

A sanctuary, is a place that leaves as much of itself with you, as you do with it. This felt like a more natural shape poem than most, I hope it sounds just as.

    This left me just staring at the screen, not sure what it meant, but unsure of what it didn't mean as well. Thoughtful and deep, thanks for sweeping those dusty corners man, cheers!
