To sleep perhaps unseen

From may 2005 reposted

magic mage
in tragic rage
calling time
in falling rhyme
hat atilt his cane a wand
limping lilt and pain a bond

His soul is tied to earthly needs
he falls in rhythmic rhyme to knees
feels frustration's pull and twist
finds no reason to resist
tears fall blind as hands unfist
in such surrender life is missed

precious moments measure life
in increments of joy and strife
some cause pain and some delight
some are taken into night
like teddy bears to hold on tight

Oh ..... this is my new favorite of yours.. what a deep poem... It says to me that we have to strip ourselves from our inner fears and because we can't so easily....we are even afraid to fall into a deep sleep, it is wonderful to listen to a dream carefully one can see where he or she should start to solve the life... I adored also your ending. Wonderful, ringing, giving and remaining poem. favorite.
