In the dark
so easy to lose your way
stumbling on smooth paths
never knowing if you are going towards
or running from.
So easy to see
so clearly
in the dark
things that are not.
So easy to miss
so quickly
in the dark
things that are.
Running your hands
along walls
mumbling tall tales in the dark
as you return to where you began.
A velvet comfort
in the dark
until you choose
so easy to lose your way
stumbling on smooth paths
never knowing if you are going towards
or running from.
So easy to see
so clearly
in the dark
things that are not.
So easy to miss
so quickly
in the dark
things that are.
Running your hands
along walls
mumbling tall tales in the dark
as you return to where you began.
A velvet comfort
in the dark
until you choose
to open your eyes.
(thanks Rodent!!)
The Cave is in the Lava Beds National Monument, Northern California. The picture was take by LindaO, certainly a member of the family!!! I lost all of mine in a computer crash, from which I still did not learn to back up information!!! Some photo shopping took place, names were changed to protect the guilty.
That's a neat picture! Big bummer about the computer crash. Hope all is well with you.

Thought provoking words John.....with so much symbolism in the poem and the photo. The music captures the mood of both perfectly. I'm glad you decided to join in today. Well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteJohn... I was mesmerized by the words, struck dumb by the pic (nice one linda!), and haunted by the music... all in all, I'm surprised I can write.
