End Game

End Game


Daylight, collected by ancient violins
Breaks a cadaverous rhythm 
From dreams of a crashing heart
And all encumbered the features of its crag
Rages pitiful

It is a sigh, which leaves the unsleeping cushion
To bury knuckles in tired eyes
Daylight
With the auspices of its vendetta hanging cryptic
In riddled made promises
By the sun catches
Nothing

The mirror in its jaundice of coffee, continues
And stares melancholy from its own reflection
Hangs bloodless
Daylight
In its search for continuum
And its succession to hope
Clings remorseless
To love
In a steadfast silence
Holds its will to its own faith in strength

And so anchored on peace, the day begins in patience 

And cast as grain to the eternal dusts
The ancient chord of violins
With sorrows bow draws upon the strings
Of my heart

Daylight
And with its first thought; turned on love

It's so nice to see you online, Colin! Couldn't help but think of retired concert violinist Daver Austin when I read the first verse. Thank goodness for faith. It does provide us with strength and peace to face the challenges of each new day. Another poem for my favorites! Love, Carolyn
