The Pause - The Return

A poem about how ‘traveling’ can give us respite from our problems, however they will always be there waiting for us…

Turbulence and hurricanes can be left, when enough distance is travelled.

 

Wounds, imprinted and kept, though enough distance is travelled,

 

The Pause.

 

Mountains and seas grow larger, as troubles become the never after,

 

The Pause.

 

 

Sins - rich enough to darken the shadow of Lucifer fall, loosed chains off the beast.

 

Dreams - big enough to ‘arc en ciel’ leading over chasms, can dwarf - sweetening taste and the feast.

 

The Pause.

 

Irrelevant shimmer across the landscapes, the diamond dust of a drought.

 

Drinking deeply from the savanna, forgetting the desert princess you feel without.

 

The Pause.

 

 

Journey’s trickle - an hourglass reset, return to all that was said, the time before the end.

 

Pain stares you in the face, platitudes are the waking seconds, dread resides within the mistakes.

 

The Return.

 

Corpses gather - the wronged ones know, forgiveness breathes life, sorry- the mesh of the amends.

 

Footprints fade, haunting memories of freedoms flaunt - lost health to your cells, the toil - the mistake.

 

The Return.

 

 

Contemplation of retreat, reversing birth does not mean to die, can you leave never, not after,

 

The Return.

I liked this one, alpha_dark..you have written this in an intriguing style..This is so true to the living, brother. This was serious yet an uplifting piece. Some things never leave us no matter how much we try to run away. That's why we should learn to solve the problems instead of avoiding it. As long as we live, problems persist. I loved the thought on journey showing different illustrations. Great one indeed.
Keep it up :-)
