Of Shadows & Shallows

There was him.
He was, and is,but a human.
As were those around him.


In an anonymous education centre,he was asked stupid questions.
Annoyed.
Stalked.
Transferred from class to class.
Held electronic keys to form melodies.
Feared by assumption.
Admired over dramatically.
Spoken to like an idiot,by idiots.
What else had happened,only God knows.


And then came silence,abundant.
There was so much silence you could sing of it.
Except you can't.


Silence came and went.
As did secrets,subterfuge and cunning.
And open-mindedness.
And random random words.
As did the sarcasm.
As did the cronies of the Addicted.

***

One day in the wondrous invention of mankind.
Called a vehicle;
Called a van,a bus,a form of transport;whichever you please.
One individual, seemingly hurt in the past,was seen staring at the world around.
And that was that.
Silence remained.

***

Out in the courtyard,
Or a likeness of one.
People played with balls,levers,feathers and skin.
They played.

One or two hurt a bone;
One fell from a throne.
Two pulled muscles.
Two broke joints.
Fools bustled,
Even in the glade of books.

***

Two computers lay side by side.
But on either side of each,
Lay walls out of reach.

***

In Asgard Valkyries dance.
In the land of the daybreak,the Amaranth hides.
In shadows lurk mysteries;
In shallows lie history.

***

Parallel in being.
Intersecting by fate.
Different by feature;
Similar by nature.

Time creeps by.
Ties change.
The chord is altered;
From harmony,
To cacophony.

People live,
People lie;
People will,
Not to die.

***

Her name was Maria.
She lost the first lamb.
A bed of frozen roses
Fall by the midnight lamp.


The lamb was Ignorance.
Blissful it be.
Too much wisdom,
Will cause harm to thee.

***

Shadows shift.
By the wind's drift.
The luminescent light,
Calling and fading.


Shallows they rise.
As do the tides.
Of water and sand.
Of burden and trial.

***

In the days of Christ,
The Lord said unto humanity:
"Destroy this temple,and I shall raise it for thee"

In the days of plight,
The Furies said unto humanity:
"Take these treasures, and bow down and worship me"

In the days of light,
The Sun beckons unto thee:
"Follow my grace,and be led to safety"

In the days of night,
The Moon is silent;
The stars they shine to light your way.
In the twilight of Sorrow's Day.
