Beyond the Moon

As the leaves fall my memories take form.

 You were the one,
to damage
break
unfold the triad that is me.

Fallen from the stars
seeking shelter
beyond
these gray eyes of hope.

I bereave
yes I bereave
the loss felt in empty arms
as my body floats down stream.

And I fear
the empty falls
where once I felt warmth
now crisp as a winter moons breeze.

These lines tell the whole journey of a broken and lost soul. Incredibly deep and intense this insight into the dark sanctums of a being.

- unfold the triad that is me

- the loss felt in empty arms
- as my body floats down stream.

- And I fear the empty falls

Wondrously great metaphors and images, they tell so much of the tortured soul. It's interesting that you call yourself here a triad and all these stanzas are triangles. The two first are pyramids standing on their tops about to tumble every moment, but the two last are built the right way, they cannot fall... To me this means that on your way you've become more self-confident and are on the right path to healing.

Brilliant write in every way.

This is really beautiful. I love the flow and feel of this poem.

Beautiful, Josh! Yet very dark and mysterious. Sometimes, life's journey takes us deeper into the abyss we've come to know as a test. Either by defeat or come out victorious. We want not to give in/give up so easily.
