Reflections

Mists of memories condense on glassy eyes

Rivers of pain filled with sorrow's rain

Gathered fragments dropped with time's demise

are the indelible bane that the spirit does stain

In a storm ravaged soul, debris will remain

until tempest's cries are erased from the skies

Only with the dawn can one see again

metamorphosize, evaporating nocturnal lies

A bitter sacrifice to remove a bloodstain

One must sanitize, sins in disguise

A greedy god on new terrain

All fears exorcise and hope baptize

An emotional idiot now so wise

A healed brain considered insane

Here no physical law applies

Nothing that you gain can you retain

Seems like a struggle with a faith that didn't serve you well.. the good news is there are many paths to faith and a view of the most high that is not greedy. I hope you find a way that soothes your soul.

I find that the negatives in life have a habit of turning up while we are sleepless haunting us with their presence. Not only that they become so exaggerated, everything seen and felt under a microscope. Dawn brings relief. Moving from darkness into the light. A healing and cleansing experience. Fabulous description and imagery here Soren. Great work and relatable too.

I loved these lines, Soren. Dawn acts as a cleanser of darkness and the smog of lies. I picture its piercing rays shredding sorrow's veil. The poem has great rhyming and message. So many existential questions touched. Man lives a brief life, big on pain, small on learning. Kudos!
