A White Room Iv
Into the white room
With folded time
Worn into the sublime
Watching the figure standing
Here standing there
In the corner
Where the shadows bare
Where things dare
Watching the passing of a life
In the strobes of one's afterlife
The flickers of memory
The moments of history
The monuments of
The stuff that transcends
The essence of a void
What is made of
What was imagined
In the white room, the floor is bare
Nothing left there only two moments
Taken like photographs
Can I of the soul see the ramifications
In the seconds that are folded and worn
Like photographs on the dead fireplace
The white room is getting cold
The procession has come, old
The procession left nothing to bare
The passing of nothing
Something rare
There on the floor, bare
I see a shadow roaming uncertain
Where time is warned bare
In a white room with black curtains
an ode to stones
