Sands of Wisdom

Earth and Moon

Frozen in time

Insomnia fills the eyes 

Of lost souls

As death roams high

Silence can be heard

Mystic inspiration

Resides

In the minds of the oracles

Visions of majestic peaks

Clearly seen

Rising sun,

Omens revealed,

A young child

Chosen to journey

Beyond the mystic land

To seek out

The river of visions for answers

Meditating peacefully,

Omen's begin to answer...

Sadness fills the heart

Of the young boy

The omens speak,

"As long as ignorance prevails,

peace will never reign"

The earth

Continues to receive karma

Through bloody arrows,

The winds are weak,

Unable to carry sands of wisdom

Hence we lack

Symbols rich in meaning

The wheel of time

Counts down waves of doom

Clouds of fear 

Rape the skies

Blackened

The heavens become

Hope and light

No longer shine through

Hate and lies

Consume the earth

Suspicious voices

Fuel demonic thirst

Giving birth to an uprising curse

That binds mankind

Unable  

To release

They're blazing cries

The abyss of fears

Confines they're tears

The invasion

Of anger and frustration

Kept us prisoners

Concealing our peaceful visions

Now we have been

reduced to silence,

Frozen in time

Nothing left but a planet

Filled with misery.....

Last days....This is next level. I see you have grown into on of the next LA poetic Prophets. Impressive to say the least

[Rob Santana]

Thank you Judas. Glad you like this one bro.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

A story or prophecy penned in such bleakness. You have a mystical feel about this write Rob...A Very well done piece.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you K.

[Traci]

Another well written piece, Rob You write with such a dark cryptic style, deep with such meaning, a unique style I truly admire. "The river of visions"...4 words that left a feeling of melancholy, hopelessness, imagery that set the tone for the entire poem, longing to understand your wisdom. Truly a remarkable write, my friend. Looking forward to reading much more from a talented poet.

[Rob Santana]

Traci it's been a while how have you been? I hope all is week with you. I'm so glad you enjoyed this piece. Thank you for the awesome review. Hope you don't mind me stopping by to read your work. See you soon.

[Rob Santana]

*I hope all is well with you*

[David Scott]

You are penning a prophecy... It will come to pass unfortunately. Your words should be headed however, so those who would speak love could do so while we yet have a voice within our spirit to do so.
Great write here Rob. :)
I enjoyed this read.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much David. Glad you enjoyed this one.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

even as much as the young boy might have been sent down to save us...this planet holds little hope of saving, it has become one of darkness and misery...frozen in time....

nicely presented here...allegorical in form, strong in theme.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much jacob. I appreciate your visit.

"Now we have been
reduced to silence,
Frozen in time

Nothing left but a planet
Filled with misery....."

A very good write, sir. I like the ending the most. :)..................

[Rob Santana]

Glad you enjoyed this one Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)...............

[Matching Socks]

Very deep. Geez... Way to look on bright side. :)
Does seem sometimes though as if we're picking up momentum to go crashing into that wall.
Good thought provoking piece.

[Rob Santana]

I feel the same way Ana. Just seems as if we as humans are headed for a deadly train wreck. Hope I'm wrong. Thanks Ana.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

This is so deep. The world is going to hell and there's nothing anyone can (will) do about it. This piece is filled with dark melancholy and hopelessness. My favorite line was "the river of visions." I drew such imagery from that. Your words express images of dark crimson. You are the master of this genre.

[Rob Santana]

I'm so glad you like this bro. Thank you very much Damien. Imagery is everything to me when it comes to reading and writing.

[MsJewel]

There is wisdom in your words... I was drawn in by the melancholy tone. (Perhaps the mood I'm in today). You are very talented. I'm so glad I stumbled across your poetry. I will definitely be back to read more of your work.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much Julie. I love that poetry can put us in a certain mood or we can stumble across a piece that flows with how we are feeling that very second, incredible right?

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Rob Santana]
