Alone in a sea of people
I swim through the crowd
Through the broken glass beach
of my dreams
The sky is naked and the rain
Embittered
The winter stripped the trees
and left them asleep
The night hushed the wolf, the mare, the sun
It stole the light of the moon and stars
In the darkness I master her fire
and her smile, her little vessel
Guides me to the leafy isles of her soul
AJ, this is your first posting in a while and it is BRILLIANT!! Your metaphors capture the fatality of the human condition and yet you leave the reader with gentle, mystical optimism. Good work, AJ. Your continued maturity personally and as an artist remains apparent. Looking forward.
