RetrieveA Poem by Jeremy Michael WhiteRetrieve a pearl from the darkness of a sand Enter into new worlds, new life, new land Finally a welcome, a revealing, it comes out But left without a droplet, drowning in doubt
Receding into the use of illusion Every item a symbolic allusion Hiding behind metaphorical devices Choking on flames yet cold in crisis
Understanding the years, lost on a brink Suffocating on tears - is this what I think? Riding the line between dying and death But brought back to life by the chance of a breath
Flood gates open into eternal madness Steely, cold rings of darkess Look at it! The pasture stretches, a Luftwannian hallucination The face in the double-sided mirror fades to black And the sun shines his rainbow smile Bringling Life joy, and bringing Life back © 2012 Jeremy Michael White |
