Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

Image On the Screen

We move like 
celluloid gods
      under a starry sky
as the story continues
We experience joy 
      yet there are always questions
    nighttime echoes deeply 
      in the corridors
of our torrid souls
      Tasting the dark 
we run like panthers
       towards the light
and we are left 
    with a vision of 
tomorrow
    After all is said and 
done
  All we really have 
is ourselves
     let the chorus of 
    dawn awaken us from 
sleep 
     Upon opening our
tired eyes
       we see the sun 
Ninety three million miles away 
         and very, very hot

Sharon Winter June 15, 2009 at 5:46 AM Matthew, even though you include the darkness, you always end with optimism, a part of why I am drawn to your beautiful poetry. I find I believe your every word, as though you have a secret knowledge others do not. Love, Shar
