HearthstoneA Poem by Zorrin86Gather around, friends, To the hearthstone, Beside shady fields Where lonely fiends have been Known to roam Among the screaming And under flying things. It is here that we will find it, And it’s here that We will all be forgiven Under the hearthstone. Love has been known To redouble its efforts here, And within bowed head or no, Ugly or pure heart, It takes gentle steps On creaking, broken stairs To show us the way into the light, Into a realm of integration That defies the keenest demarcation We have a dire need To vilify and complicate everything, But near the hearthstone All can be relatively simple. If we are old enough to die, Then we’ll die, If not, Then we will go on living. Good and evil And life and death Are little more than black and white fish That dance with each other In their own way to the same strange tune. © 2018 Zorrin86 |
