The End

Augustus

Many lurk in the shadows of your heart.

Amongst the hills and valleys there are hollows and stars.

A watchman waits in obscurity.

Those who enter may not arrive.

For some it's a leap of faith,

For others selfish desire.

    Your poem is beautiful, Augustus. Makes me think of the movie "What Dreams May Come," with Robin Williams.

    • Augustus

      I did not have that film in mind but I believe it fits. Decisions here on earth have consequences depending on your faith. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

        This is true. I think of this always in how I live my life. And, your poem should be framed and put on everyone's wall. You are very welcome! Happy New Year!

              I am surprised by the reception. This was different for me. I am more into rhyme and meter.

                  I'm not so much a meter or rhyme person - I love words that play together flow and this does both - great write.

                  • Augustus

                    Thanks Michael. That is encouraging.
