Waning Moon and Blazing Sun

My days and nights merge strangely into one
The waning moon transforms to blazing sun,
and time no longer means a single thing
My sanity has flown on tempter's wing

I see the world in muted shades of grey
My words get tangled up each time I pray
My thoughts are lost inside an endless maze
I walk from room to room in silent daze

The meaning of existence murky still
No dogma and no creed the void can fill
There's only Christ; the rest is circumstance
That afterlife exists, I'll take the chance

I count the moments of each passing day,
and try to make it through them, come what may
They say its darkest just before the dawn
Before the sun appears, my hope is gone

This world, this place, this room is just a tomb
I lie enshrouded here in cloths of gloom
Oblivion will keep me company
Till resurrection day, don't look for me.

You had to know I could not pass a title like this. Such an internal emptiness, a numbing to life. Good? Bad? Only that one can decide. Hello Majesty ;)

Thank you for your comment and visit. That seems ages ago when I wrote that. Welcome to poetry soup. I used to live and breathe poetry. These days, I come to it now and again when I need an escape.

Don’t lose faith in humanity Eileen, for the most part good has triumphed over evil, we just have to wait and see what happens next. You do know that Desert Orchids bloom best in the sun don’t you. Take care, Richard

Thanks for stopping by. I'm afraid I'm too jaded to believe much in anything anymore. Everything seems pointless... even blooming. Here's hoping the war will end soon. Take care.

So sad Eileen, all we can do is pray for peace, one day the evildoers will pay for their crimes against humanity. Tom

Beautiful yet terribly sad. All we can do in any circumstance is take one day at a time and keep our faith a burning flame. This life is not all there is

It's a very dark period in my life. I used to be called the queen of romance/passion. Now this is all that I can write. I've lost faith in humanity. Thanks for dropping by.
