Die Götterdȁmmerung: Twilight of the gods-revised

Die Götterdȁmmerung:  Twilight of the gods

 

 

Twilight falls for everyone 
The gods themselves knew moratality
Fading unwillingly into mystery.
In Vallhala's Halls they all stand
Waiting for that suspension of disbelief
To live only for a brief time
Again

There is a beginning and an end
To all things
And  a beginning to  every end.
The earth still sings
Without us
Its song of life and death
And with each living breath
We cling to the light of day
Until we  pass on
To go a different  way.

 Out of Earth’s womb painfully we cry
Bursting through to another place
To die and live again

Oh wise wise owl of wisdom

Amen. Longobardolino. I find this beautiful. Oh wise, wise owl of wisdom, you pen a verse to show the beauty of the coming and the going of our lives, its so lovely yet so difficult, we cannot make it out but then who are we but tiny elements of the whole yes the verses will go on, the song of life go on, the roll of life's vicissitudes and strife, we are privileged to know we have existed though, and its clear we have had happy times e'en though they are dispersed in time's dread curse. Annuccia in the grey, a sad snow-grey day in January.
