Among The Wall of ManA Poem by Lorne BlaineDecember 2016On emerald statosphere, mind clear, I stand Contemplating, standing still, what holds me dearly To rout, to allay what catches me, fears me greatly On sight's crystal clearance comes a void, grand
That glare that had catched me seems to be of no repent That night that stands idly has apprehended my whole being That owl oues with greatness, beauty it wishes stealing With many, the night turns grayer, losing tastes's layers and smells's
Upon midnight prairie, the dream is of fervent might The solstice has yet to beckon light, but ostracizes me And the sun has yet to begin awakening, but wishes, wishes only Upon mignight prairie, confusion comes again to brood incessantly
Comes a joy and sparks a cold, the night grows old Bears a face of decadence and a scent of dreary silence Comes to me harrows of souls foreboding and dreading An eternity of passings
Those mounds of countless sages cannot appeal to my despondency Over those seas crashing violently on those high levees of my spirit Of the cycles born of new dawn, closing down on morning's sound Of birds, freebirds, of the thunder waves that bring the truth to which we're bound
I clash to that unexplicable firmament of the unceasing dreams of colours Brighter than mine, blue, purple, yellow Slick, thick soil of life is narrowed down, slowly fading out with hours Comes down further the gradiant, the shining moon of heresy in belief
Sweeping, the wind sweeping the meadows into the east where sands awaits Sweeping, the wind sweeping the meadows in great gusts into the west Into the west where taut mountains of glorious gods are told lieing there And awaits for the seeking of the mind to be released from that somewhere
Cast upon the black drape over me, witnessing Are the truths in sparkling deflagrations of times unnumbered Cast upon the black drape over me, beckoning, calling Is bright daylight's promises deemed by those wishes
Oh and there are the rainbows slicing it all Comes flaging it all with prospects of goodness In spurs of stripes of colourful colours Like bridges fording thin creeks cleaving the pastures
Mind bespangled with all of those matters Ladders, hours, time is a luxury and was so all along The cycle is born once more among those pastures The cycle in the mind starts off again, you feel all alone
The origin of all of these things we accorded so much value was but a result of the unexplicably beautiful, of the surging wave in our heart The silence dropping on those shadowed ranges ceaselessly rising and ebbing Becomes the only answer for life, for all things that rattles in our soul The silence is the only thing left for us
And, 'that's it, that's what it is?' you'll ask, your soul dying down 'You can't tell me more, can you?' you'll strive, your hole crying out 'Why? Why?' you'll can't seem to take it, you'll brood the greater that can't be But everything has been erased, you are left only to look, to smell, to listen
Then, with all that stands around you, you can finally ask why Then, with your bosom empty, you can finally resonate with life You realize: 'the silence was not a why, the silence was a why not.' And among the wall of man you will stand, at last © 2017 Lorne Blaine |
