Toba

Lorenz

Vertigo of  times .

Glowing passions .

Union of molten rocks.

confused symphony .

Sometimes silence hesitates...

In the death throes the eternity,

the deities of the shadows 

confront the solar dragon .

Humans questioning the immortal,

your bones will await judgment .

New roots giving birth to dynasties

 in wind color paint ...

Where the day begins ,where history ends ,

all engraved into the skin of the fire...

 The temple of nature no longer offering refuge.

In the architecture of a pensive chaos

the naked priestess  casts an oracle ...

Dream of the Toba child awakens .

Life has no more exit doors ...

 burning sand ending up  in the belly

of the abyss ...Obscure beauty .

Last prayer engulfed in the ocean's truth .

Memory is only made of words 

asleep in the ashes ...

Upright ad dignified I would contemplate

the face of destiny ,without cursing .

 My being filled with  a breath of living sulfur !

  Mutant stone of flesh ,I am !

Crystal ethereal ,I will survive ! 

 On the shores of the lake ,now at peace,

old Toba telling me the secret...

    This seems nature turned to myth and myth to reality. A lovely poem of metaphor with significant vibrant power. Viril I would call it

    • Lorenz

      Virile ..A word that seems somewhat forgotten in today's society !

      • sorenbarrett

        Yes it is politically incorrect banned for its male meaning

        • Lorenz

          I should have been removed from this site since long ! Julian really has a lot of patience !

          • sorenbarrett

            I have had poems removed from other sites and even been shut out of a site for some time requiring special petition for readmitance

              • Ellen Marsell

                Beautiful metaphors and a rare sense of the ancient spirit!

                • Lorenz

                  Human resilience vs primordial forces !

                • nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

                  • Lorenz

                    Thanks Norman !

                    I think when Toba gets angry we all see the consequences.
                    Now, a super Toba, whose impact lasted years, that's a real impact.
                    Nature at work, we live in awe.
