A Look Within

The moon is half a smile
Peeking through the trees shedding.
The world dwells on small things
And smaller things.
Grief rearranges my guts till i can't feel anymore.
Oh, i love it all,
The vast nothingness 
and the darkness that threatens it.
Someone put diamonds in the sky above.
I have been finding patterns and shifting shapes
Listening to cries of hysteria
Sitting on the bylines, ghostly shadows all around,
A deep sigh after a long day.
Here i rest, here i think,
Here i lose my mind, here i run wild,
Here are none and here I am.

I am losing focus,
I have lost count,
Trees still shedding,
I must go to sleep.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
