tim's Bits and Pieces - 96. The Journey Back

The Journey Back

In shadows where silence reigns
My weary heart no longer sings
The light withdraws from this hollow space
Each day’s a night, with no breath till dawn.

The world turns gray, all colours fade
Frost devours all the warmth of life.
My mind’s adrift on the starless depth
Where hope is only a foolish dream

Yet somewhere on this bleak, cold sea
Is the fragile thread of a quiet song,
It dares to sing of strength thought lost
A single voice against the dark

For fires may rage, and black dogs howl,
But even they bluster, then go
From the cooling ash, life takes form—
With quiet strength, I am reborn.

Thank you for your time and thoughts.

You write of feelings I’ve experienced, but far more powerfully than I could express. I’m moved my images of light withdrawn and starless depths. The last stanza reminded me of the scent of warm earth before springtime.
