Soul Search

By Sean Mc Shane

Dawn
the burning lake
the dream inferno

from lost ages
wisdom's funnel
thru uncharted ideas

recollections of damnation
rejection of winter's song

a slower drag

downward

out of the hole
shadow blackened
tainted by turmoil

the scene is set for sharper words

a question never asked
the death of another chance

broken mysteries linger

searching for a hidden altar
white moon dancer
wolves at the gate

a magnificent procession
under all cosmic law

violations unchecked

override the mainframe
focus on a star

    Hey Sean, haven't seen anything from you in a while and nearly missed this one. If I read correctly between the lines, that sucks and I'm sorry to hear it. Personally, I'd rather the dawn not come at all, than to bring with it the end of the dream. Drop me a line sometime, later dude................... ~ACE~

    the imagery and flow were fantastic, completely swept me off my feet, only certain parts felt very dark and I liked that, 10
