I Saw the Moon Dead in the Wilderness of the Dark
Welkin Siskin
Washington, USA
I saw the Moon dead in the wilderness of the dark;
Tan and pale, lonely and daunted;
Like the unfounded clouds blotting out the light and following with the cruel shade;
I saw the Sun shining into the zone of the unknown;
Like the fireflies’ light faint and shadowy, thin and ungrown.
I saw the world ignited with the flames of uncontrolled fire of ignorance;
With brokenness mighty like the rift of heaven’s gains;
I saw the sky as hollow as the heart of the heartless;
Like the tender breeze swelling across the globe, breathless.
I saw the stars sorrowful like the clay pigeons up the Garden of Eden;
Swallowed into the mouth of twilight’s thunderhead of den
I saw the earth as barren as the deserts of the Africa’s Sahara;
Like the fossils of the deceased seeking for the new era!
CP,
“I saw the stars sorrowful like the clay pigeons up the Garden of Eden”——The words are perfect and the flow of this poem is awesome. I like the way you presented. Keep it up and I hope for the other pieces in future.
Thanks!
