Sparks In Woods

Some depth, 
my thoughts never touched,
the moonlight fades on my window. 
The vague gratification,
falls silently on my mind. 
Pausing on relativity,
I open the door to eternity.

Vast loneliness of qualms, 
like the cult of dancing doubts
where was the choice?
I felt guilty at the fall of truth. 
Black grass was not my doing. 
My blood dripped 
on every count, on every tear.

I don’t need questions anymore. 
Give me landmarks.
Darkness was for me.
I will walk relentlessly 
in search of light. 
Alone, you will remember the fire, 
the spent spark in woods. 
It makes a difference 
when you are picking flowers.
