Descending Poems - Poems about Descending

Leaf Descends Crimson curl Brittle breath breaks Bending into dark No breeze strong enough now Burdened boughs won’t bear the weight Scarlett cry clings to cracked silence The final flutter of fading hope One is leaf left, lost in its spiral fall. Frost cannot hold the murmur of the roots. What breaks down returns to form again. Budding growth awaits light's return To flourish, they must lie...

The higher you rise the thinner the air The more that’s at risk the less there’s to dare As oxygen falters your head becomes light And looking above you fear turns to delight The sun is setting far over the peak The summit awaits whose answers you seek With twilight retreating your flag in the rock You enter the madness — descending unlocks (Memories Of Sagarmatha: April, 1981) ...

In shadows deep, where truth is lost/ I stand falsely accused, innocence lost/ Wrongfully convicted, they tore me from God/ My soul too pure for Heaven's facade/ Through realms of darkness/ I descended the Qliphoth's depths where light pretends/ Barriers break, and chains unbind/ A journey forged, a fate refined/ I face trials, a spirit bold/ In the shadows, a heart of gold/ No earthly...

mary (a quiet yes) bows low as light (soft as breath) spills into her womb— a promise cradled in infinite space. joseph’s hands (calloused & trembling) grasp the weight of whispers: holy. impossible. near. caesar decrees, the world bends— roads unravel like threads on a loom. a city swells, heavy with strangers searching for shelter, for place, for peace. (no room) (no room) (no room) until a manger beckons, humble...

The title said it all… Thank you very much Left an unanswered call All alone and such… I’m reaching to the top so tall I loved you to the cold-hearted touch Catch me I make an abashing freefall I discarded you…you deserted me too and left me a torn-apart heart with a crutch Danger zone, Alone, Descending beneath the surface, barely Below you and I Before I...

You were my hero and my rock You were the reason why I am who I am You were so strong and quick witted A very charismatic gentleman You taught me so much about life As well as teaching me manners and class I always looked up to you And I always will Now I see a man who is descending into age As...

Halloween There was movement on All Hallows Eve with stirrings all around The moon was full against the blood red sky. I wondered if I’d make it home before the dead returned Would creepy Zombies stop me in my tracks?. Descending shadows came and went, just who was lurking by? I wondered why I ventured out this night. In darkness saw their...

I try to drift into the dust of sleep but my weary mind starts to play tricks on me aware that as gloomy shadows wrap around me glimmers of nightmarish dreams will taunt me. Dusk looms ahead like an endless tune I feel the darkness smothering me a sorcerer casting a flimsy net upon me holding me fascinated like...

Do clouds rapidly flee chased by icy gulls? Is something more horrifying about to happen? A frightening squall is descending to Earth, the airways are free of fowls and raptors, mothers rescue their kids from the captor, their safety is a ritual since the dawn of Man; shivering and unprotected is that grizzly bear climbing the redwood tree for his cubs' mirth! Sand...

They say that sound can travel approximately six thousand metres per second But what is the use when I open up my mouth and let out a long scream of deep anguish and nothing but silence comes out? It has been silenced by the river of low-spirited tears My mind on the other is going a million...

Once He washed our feet Now He has an exalted seat Once we crucified the Lord Now He is loved and adored Once we left Him on a cross Now He comforts our loss Once He sat with sinners Now He is the with winners Once He gave grace to us Now love is our greatest plus Once He forgave all sin Now a light shines...
