Where I have waited....

By Spiritus_Frumenti

Where I have waited,
Shadow/dreams stand there
Below a forgotten sky
On a ground sinking,
A ground that perhaps has had enough

Within seasons wanting to be felt
Winds are changing,
As men are chasing leaves holding secrets

In paths of surrender,
All that is true becomes empty
Where every thought no longer seems real

I feel an abandon,
An unrelenting solitude larger than this world
Existing in lands beyond the farthest cliffs
By the horizons of colliding dreams
And eternally bleeding Suns

In many ways,
I now find myself devoid of contemplation
Out of Admiration -
to the bitter/beautiful of where I am
An air that is insulted by my presence
Where my suffering means nothing
This primordial essence,
In all the sweets and sorrows,
Is where I have waited all along...
