~Horizon's End

For every smile curved,a cost must be paid in the end

Shivering soul, caressed by the stinging wind...
Unlocking my sight,opening my ignorant blind..
Flashing to the blurry grey Haven of Cloud,
Souls wander with a thirsty crimson shroud...

Brook of earthly tears flow...
Orange figures cling to it in a row...
With sewn lips ready to burst...
Trying to sate the unquenchable thirst...
Tears of repentance spill with agony...
Shakes the shadow in waking cacophony...
Blessing the ungrateful earth in vain...
Raining it with their sheer pain!!

Drifting along.....
Reaching the manna studded ground..
Shadows restlessly circle around...
It melts in their insensitive mouth...
Twitching their jaws into a scowl...
Fierce stare burning the rays of Sun...
It is just the way,it has always been done..

In this haunting abyss of Salvation we learn
How we wronged the talent to discern....
Floating in this vast stretch without bend....
Absorbing - the truth...
For every tear shed,
Every smile curved...
A cost must be paid behind
The horizon's end........

To every action there is a reaction and consequence.
Beautiful poem and I'm so thrilled to see you back, I missed you.

[Sophy Freebirds]

I hope you get better Sophy. In the constant abyss salvation is present. I can relate to that as while reading I felt as if taken by a brute force and swept around as if no control could be exerted over it. As trying is only the mistakes that show you that trying is not working and that constant change is neded if not to succumb. Sure enough every action then will have a consequence unexpected at times, suprising at others always changing always adapting.

Thankyou

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words :)

Well sorry to hear you have been battling health issues but so glad you are alright and well enough to bless us with your words…

The world is made up of a delicate balance between light and dark, like having to go through hell to reach heaven… your poem creatively touches on this ideal, for me at least.

[Sophy Freebirds]

Thank you for your concern Dale :) and yes for your kind words..

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are most welcome on both accounts.

There are consequences in life....for every smile, for every tear, for every action. Sometimes it is worth pursuing a goal no matter what the consequences. A deep thinking write here, Sophy. Lots of introspection as well as studying the world. I enjoyed it. I am glad you are feeling better. Take care. Lydi**

A finely penned expressive poem and indeed, there are no free lunches in an unforgiving, desolate world !
