The Dark Light

The Dark Light
brianlion
 
All alone in the day

in the midst of the crowd.

He goes walking by, 

following his own shadow.

The night rolls in,

he looks out from his window.

His silent thoughts

speaking perfectly loud.

The smile on his face

hides the internal frown.

His mind goes drifting by,

following his dark shadow.

The cold air rolls in,

he looks up from the gallows.

His tortured thoughts

holding up a thorny crown.

I enjoyed your poem. it was a great read and I imagine a great write. ~!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
