Thinking About Daylight


"Album Daylight by Jonathan Patterson" - Quote by Poet


In the precinct of sprawling emptiness, 
curved out by the contours of desolation,
the spreading daylight of prime promise 
bursts with the brilliance of magnificence, 
creating the serrated shadows of silence, 
where I'm consumed by illumined calmness. 

Within the light and shadow lattice, 
the fused sunray strands weave 
the tapestry of argentine ecstasy
on the silvery barrenness of seclusion
for me to walk in search of the lost dreams.

Trudging with the forlorn life 
across the shades of grey in the wilderness,
I take a lonesome journey with my pallid heart
across the silhouetted grandeur
of the daylight dwindling. 

Walking the last mile of the journey 
in the remaining hours of the day, 
I long for respite for the last time, 
step into the waiting memory corridor, 
see my dreams return enwrapped 
within the lengthening shadow of me.
