shifiting Shadows

Shifting sands
Shifting snow

A cloud of dust
So thick as mist

Reality no longer exists
It is timeless
Endless

Do I go around in circles
I know not

No walls
No days
No nights

Just dust storms
of sand or snow

Chasing shadows
in the mist

Illusions

or are they?

Maggie...

even without your summary at the end I would have gotten a very lonely chill... hope you can fight your way through... Richard a cloud of dust so thick as mist... it delivers the picture, but stumbles off of my tongue, but it is probably just me, I've been stumbling a lot lately...

hello Richard Well i am lost in this mist. Until a few times it is clear. I share some happiness then back into the shadows unseen forgotten again. Electricblue

Shifting Shadows poem

E.B., The more I read your newer works, the more they inspire me. I want to dig into my art with my brain on fire, and write faster, and write real, and live my lives for my art again and again until I am ashes. And then, still be letting the carbon of my former existance go on reporting my beliefs and my happiness and my misery until it is all absorbed back into time like so much cosmic dust. We are in this mist together. wcw

Shifting Shadows

WC As you see from this poem. It is about Loneliness Everytime I have to leave where I am happy and alive. I am back in the mist of time. Searching, for that happiness again. So the visions I see, It is me. Alone in the water. But, there is always, a tall dark shadow. Just, out of reach, But the shape is always, reconisable. I am not, afraid. We are in the mist together EB WC I read and re read your amazing poetry and you inspire me always. Maybe you can take a look at my last two poems which are sad. Remembrance Day. Ode To Remembrance - Flanders Fields - Lost souls - LANGERMARK EB
