Listen to poem:
Sight For Darkened Eyes
Sight for Darkened Eyes
David J Walker
A certain sight bestowed in a
Darkened theater
Where doubtful eyes
See nothing
And never know the same
It is silver upon black
the image plays
In golden silence
It is gray embossed
in dark red tinges of time
The message personalized in a slight
For your eyes only and
left to write
The words that come to mind
What do you see
He said
Noting that nothing would be a lie
I see black words in an azure sky
I see white wings
On large things
On the fly
I see every tomorrow comply
With future gestures and
Yesterday’s failures
And
The unknown flight plan
In the hand
of a penultimate pilot
I see the dead
Holding tight to
The last thread
Of life
Borrow tomorrow's menu and
Offer your Paphian plans
