TOUCHES GROUND

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Blood it wept
From ink to page
A solemn quest
A hidden rage
Ribbons from
A darkening sky
A dim moonlight
A prying eye.

Upon the room
That sorrow seeped
From lonely walls
While justice sleeps
A distant friend
A moving clock
A solemn shadow
Who forgot.

Nature breathes
Life to the soul
From unsteady steps
Till we grow old
Its constant presence
About,  around
Until our curtain
Touches ground.

    A fine write N. It's too much for you - you've wept blood, or sweated blood, waiting for that No.7 bus. Could you try the No.4 bus instead? Or doesn't they go to Costcutters?! lol.
