Poem Title:
Poem
(A lone voice whispers) Within this deep clearing, a mystical sanctuary surrounded by the long trees of Time's perpetual symphonies, we meet. Within this clearing, sheltered from Storms Inside this sacred sanctuary, within this journey A place beyond the Silence of Humanities long reach A secret place where the bright blue Sky holds back the shadows of conflict and pains of Yesteryear A place beyond duty, consequence, or fear. Instead, immersed for a brief interlude A time where we simply enjoy each other’s thoughts Before pulling up our long grey cloaks of separation And once again venturing forth into the cauldron of life’s ever spinning tapestries Would you still follow me if I lit a red candle In this final odyssey home Would you follow me willingly into the swirling dark In this brief history of time Would you grasp my coattails as we trespassed tentatively through all of life's scary parks As we swim against all the fast-flowing tides Will you tango and tiptoe past the Tall Man and all his worldly Minions As we circumnavigate the globe The new world grid and claimed it as our Dominion For although we are but lost souls going eventually to She'ol Would you still just blindly follow me past the awakening powers of a modern AI God As we walk unashamed together behind the many new pale white political horses To be wantonly unleashed within the unfathomable darkness as we surely conquer this life and all its occult forces Forever tasked with painting new poetic masterpieces with apocalyptic energy like Vincent Van Gogh And then every night Hidden behind the many enemies money can ever make Before we dream Shall we plead to angels and owners of The Book of Secrets To take us beyond the Black Darkness We always see when our astral eyes open as our mortal eyes close To use their invisible hands to tear away the rim before our ever-watchful twin pyres To show us what truly lies beyond these Books of Lies Everyone sometimes sees or reads from Television or Social Media For us to then venture into newer undiscovered lands To a brave new world To see the bright lights of two crimson suns and the quartet of multicoloured rainbows illuminating a purple-hued sky A place where no one no longer dies A paradise of ever-swirling winds of a whispered profound new Eden Perpetually emanating from a deep divine so high up above A sanctuary lost forever within the forgiving green reeds of a new millennium A place to be reunited with dear old family or friends who never made it to the end Where nobody no longer cries To finally sit beside the Holy River to write poetry and sing And to joyously watch through a silver scrying mirror As the real world slowly disappears To walk through the luscious green grass to the Eternal City To hear the greatest stories never told to human ears To finally embrace a new realm free from all fears or pity What says you Will you come to run in this forbidden city (C) John Duffy
