Nothing Is Forever

I stumble into a ravine
of marigold and moons

Whispering windows through which
my thoughts mingle with the winds

I colour the sky in pastel shades
with a scalpel, the fire in my soul

There's too much white cotton
screaming for headline news!

To skew every waking thought,
to feel beyond thinking

Should I attack with a sword
or let the moment bleed to death?

In the rippling blue of shimmering waters
I float, lost in time's essence

The dust of my dreams swim in circles
I let go, and sink into nothingness.

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." Be blessed.
