Paced footsteps
29 May 2016

Lonely times
Gathering instants
Cast battles
Shades of scars
Revisiting lost ventures
In twilight’s shadows
Cancer grows
Where the truth falters
Purity
Forsaken
Foundations of cells shaken
By the rampant lie
Reckoning
The past shielded fruit
Covered space
Brittle lace
Icings falling off a cake
Of mouldy sweetness
Bitter taste
Of stale emptiness
Unresolved
Surging bile
Opposites in mind beguile
The waning sweet smile
Lost a while
In the frenzied pace
Renewal
Of resolve
The tides of rebirth absolve
Every living soul
Scent of space
Time immemorial
Renewed grace
Paced footsteps
Walking down the hedged lane
The trees exhale scents
Reading of the poem:

Song of the Stars – Dead Can Dance
