Shadow Walker

Remnants have been stained the color of The blood moon Hidden beneath the boulder that is Western Civilization The glory of sunrise has been buried With promises of eternal light Fruits of darkness lay crushed under Waves of chanting the righteous Path Many trails the night traveller takes Lead to love Every hand is needed now to sow Forgotten remnants to every corner Where fear of darkness huddles True love bears fruit even under cover Of shadows Do not be afraid Joy will come to you who has no Fear of receding light Love will be your Reward 01/01/15 © All Rights Reserved

Reminiscence of the western Red Sands, the cactus, the native Americans and how we must look for hope and if we do, we’ll find love. This is a very good write. James I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Titles are all important, and this is a good one. It draws the reader in, and the first lines of your poem kept me reading. The phrase "Fruits of Darkness" inspired the title of my next sonnet. Thanks for sharing.
