The Poem We All Remember. by ManuelRichard(m): 2:31pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
In this stillness of a near silent night Darkness sees its fears. And my eyes, stripped of its potency. Like impact, on giant door; My heart beating against my thorax. It swallows the shrieks and squeaks of the night, so deafening I can only hear myself. I am not alone But this surrounding presence cripples me. Little lights From a near starless sky Not enough guide To take me home. So I stayed I stayed frozen In the heart of one long night.. encapsulated in darkness's thrill That I could barely voice "MOTHER!"... She heard And the hold of a child's fear; Lost to the lifting of one assuring grip, Darkness knows fear....... Copyright©MANUEL OVIE,2015. All right reserved. |
