Shadowland - POEM of the MONTH!

Shadowland


Shadow to shadow
Desperate for rest
Weekend to weekend
A soul distressed

Window to window
Stationary or mobile
Distraction in action
Drama gone global

Pillow to pillow
Temple is trampled
Hollow narcissism
Left disemboweled

Memento to memento
Sacramental reliance
Left with barren branches
Unobtrusively religious

Sorrow to sorrow
Dollar to dime
Sickness to sickle
Wealth by crime

Tomorrow to tomorrow
Where nothing is new
The journey is blurred
With or without a view

Windows of tomorrow
Hollow and anxious
Mementos of sorrow
Shadows to darkness ...
