Sandy Bird Poet Rhyme

Shadows of Life

I am but a shadow passing through life
Substance wanes wandering over barren land
The inner essence twists in strife

Flickering light casts its familiar glow
As I cease to exist and meld within the sand
Slipping deeper into the darkness below

2014-April 22

Carol Eastman May 27, 2014 at 10:06 AM Welcome to PoetrySoup... Dark and heavy but well written. Reminds me of years gone by when Beatniks wrote such poetry... They are now long gone, but their poetry Existentialist leanings continue on...
