James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

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

Lena Pate August 9, 2024 at 11:32 PM 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.

Cona Adams January 12, 2015 at 9:00 AM 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.
