Poem Title:
Poem
She said “We are slowly and always eroding As we lose more and more By little bits and little bits they fall They are falling Prey to the fading and wasting away Of the nameless one and all his dark children Those of dark hearts and souls dimmer still And yet we weep to find such ones as you Who fade as well For we see in you the ability to listen to the rhythm of the world To the celestial hymns of the stars And you heed the whisperings of those around you So we grieve for those of you with hearts and souls so bright And despair when you lose yourselves to unbelief We cry when the listening becomes a burden And thus as you fade So we erode And bit little bit we fall Are falling I lament the loss of all I’ve ever known And it frightens me That all the glory-bright children who guide you at night My brothers and my sisters Whose tears fall for you and so many like you Shall leave my sight forever When comes the wasting And the fading’s complete Yet all my agonies for you outweigh mine own For you truly believe in the vasting All its loneliness With its great nothingness and all its tranquil non-existence I weep for the breath of grey upon your soul Tainted thus from scars of the past And I mourn for the one who may yet still come To shed you of all armours and shrouding veils For I wonder if you will struggle And fight each step of the way Because I fear the tainting and the fading Has dug in too deep Or will you allow the one to see Behind the reflecting pools of your eyes To converse with you The one only I have seen so clearly The one that hides deep inside Behind those eyes Willingly For you the future I glimpsed Was so bright Because I saw in the palm of your hand A key of hope Such a key as could open any door And yet I have watched with helpless wonder As the hall of many doors began to lock To one by one bar themselves ‘twas a time when you traded The white rose for the red So you might remain within your world a while longer So that perhaps you might discover once again The lost faith And all the many wonders you used to see without the veils The little things you had abandoned And to this end you held the rose within your arms each mourning To find the fresh reason why Sorrow should stay his hand And why Why he should have left you alone When it was you who brought yourself to the brink each day To the edge of the world
