Exhaling stillness
4 June 2016
Restless Times
The road knows two sides
Straight ahead
Wall awaits
Pacing left right and center
Footsteps a quagmire
Burnt desire
Parchment of memories
Coded red
Bloodied lips
Utter words of safe havens
Peacocks and ravens
Middle way
Lost in centuries
When dragons
Founded grace
The knights adopting their pace
Upheld the old code
Angels sway
To tunes of morrows
When sorrows
Overcome
The thunders of their low hum
As voices crackle
Knitted faith
Protects no longer
Knots untied
Unweaving
Widows and sons bereaving
The lost promises
Spear pierces
Its thrust solemn sigh
Exposed flank
Receiving
Like a fluttering dove weeps
Exhaling stillness
Reading of the poem:
Man on Fire – Lisa Gerrard
Sorrow – Lisa Gerrard and Hans Zimmer
The Host of Seraphim – Lisa Gerrard & Dead Can Dance
Love the “Angels sway” paragraph.

I have to concede that that gif is perfect for the theme – stillness against the odds (as I see it)
