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.....

No one will understand just HOW true these words are... I mean wow. That just sent the poem home, Rob. Truly a truthful write filled with lots of strong emotion, powerful, vivid imagery and wording that hits the reader. One of the best I've read.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much Sye. I really appreciate your visit.

the flow and construction themselves were impressive, but you add the powerful, short, concise lines that pack a punch and rich language and imagery and you have a masterpiece... slam dunk... knock-out... of a write here my friend... wow... it is long, but dang what a ride... well done dayum!!!

[Rob Santana]

Thank you April.

This was like an entire movie, You actually feel the depravity and despair of what the world has come to.
Every innocent soul is that young boy seeking for answers, waiting for change.. I cannot begin to express how genius this poem is. The best part is I didn't even picture it to be written from our planets point of view when I read it.. It just feels like you're a medium, the messenger who resides on the moon, warning us of whats to come. Epic write bro.

[Rob Santana]

Damn epic review bro!!! Thank you so much for reading my work. You always bring out a new meaning or interpretation to my work. You rock brother!!!

[KatDarkness]

Wow, I've missed reading your writing! This is wonderful, "Hate and lies consume the earth" "Clouds of fear rape the skies" you are amazing :)

[Rob Santana]

[Lyn Anderson]

Glad to see you're around and writing. An expansive piece, in style and imagery. Take out the apostrophes unless I am missing something and they need to be there ... yeah, you didn't expect me to review you without noticing that did you? Or did you put them there to call me over, like opening a can ...

[Rob Santana]

Hahahaha!!!! All of them KL??? hahahaha. Which one's. Thanks for reading glad you liked it.

[Lyn Anderson]

All of them, yes, none of them belong that I can see.

[Rob Santana]

Alright I will make the changes, thank you very much. :)

[Lyn Anderson]
