Midnight prayer


Brilliant rays of some moon

Silhouette a relentless, spinning loom

Black disarray on my pillow poured

Unknowingly nurtured,- or spoiled


Fossils, gods and politicians

Conference devoid of deliverance

The clink of a thought stirs a nerve

A waking world ambiguously curbed


Let these notions pass me by

The tangle of this darken twine

I am grey rock, a gosling's down

Announced into a thoughtless plan

Dear Lyz

Didn't get to thank you for your comment, until now. I've been to the mountains devoid of electric gadgets and internet. Thank you for reading the prayer, I'm glad you liked it. Yours, Espen
