My Dream Last Night
Caged

The Unknown

Gathering mist and gathering night
Darkening clouds and darkening light
What lies hidden in the distance
Darkened by unknown resistance
War is coming, that I know
Where to find it, isn’t though
Battle cries are near at hand
Soon we all will make a stand
We cannot see what is not written
We cannot slay what is not smitten
Make no plans, you cannot feel
What is lies and what is real
War is coming, that I know
I fear it comes far too slow
Choices are made with knowledge naught
People killed, without a thought
Gathering mist and gathering night
Darkening clouds and darkening light
What lies hidden in the distance
Darkened by unknown resistance
I do not know what happens next
My future holds what my past reflects
Tombstone
My apologizes for no posts for two months.
End of the year school is bad, and I was away in England.
I’m back now though, with a light school load and hopefully a lot of writing in my summer!
Here’s a poem I wrote on the plane ride back from London:

Forgotten marker of a life,
Worn with age, marked with strife,
What tale lies hidden underneath?
Who’s love was shown here by this wreath?
70 years of living, here,
Are preserved now like a mirror,
In which we gaze into your past
And find out when you breathed your last
Your whole life summed up in three letters,
“Here in lies,” the words like fetters
Bind your tale, trap your being
I can only guess now, what you’ve seen.
Forgotten marker of a life,
worn with age, marked with strife,
What tale lies hidden underneath?
What body trapped here, in this sheath?
