The Askance Chapter 1 Part 5a
The Forbidden Enigma
Before, had the light of day been long
Yet afore, the dark of the night is only just beginning
Perhaps some thought isn’t simply anyhow to be born
And even so, some dreams when awake is still lingering
I remember seeing darkness where there is light
I remember hearing voices within my drowsy mind
However, it was only till tranquility comes the night
When finally, the awaited was engifted the awakening time
Already, it was months ago since it occur
The iris green, I’ve since so confidently dismissed away
Fearing no more, of that the enigmatic encounter
Yet overly indulgence had welcome in turn, dismay
The air seems heavier amidst my room
Shadows amongst silence, amplifying beyond anticipation
The hallucinatory moment, settles about too soon
Far too comprehensive maybe, for one’s comprehension
I can see, yet I can see not!
With the music fading away to barely a whisper
A time once again to welcome devil’s thought
Where both nothing and everything upon, seems forever
{Soft and eerie, gentle… almost lovingly
The lunatic voices of the children hymns outwardly
Blackness as before has darkness to return
And as clear to see, promising certainty in turn
Should the chanting be a moment more?
An outcry for those who feel should sorrows pour
I’m sadden, yet without tears to tear
Even so, the captivating eyes appears frowning, almost in fear
And to each a row, they form where a path lies along
An acknowledgement when all fell silent to the pair of green flaring strong}
