The Ease and Comfort of Collapse of Caring Aka Vampyr Ii

Inspired by the lithograph/woodcut Vampyr II by Edvard Munch - Edvard produced several versions of the same image. (Viewing art work will help make sense of the poem) As the daylight dissipates I return to the vision That is burnt onto my brain Never quite expelled from my thoughts Each piece produced defies memory Process un-recollected My mind and body remaining unappeased As I sink into the drøm I scratch notes of the visceral Rhapsodic emotion I yield, succumb, give everything So willingly The ease and comfort Of the collapse of caring Enshrouded and grasped from reality Quieted mind, still soul Rest The moment cannot be replicated But plays out endlessly Until it ends And I am here Striving to etch the vision to life So that I may step inside And be silent again Premier Choice No 1190 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand 3rd place
