Astral Days and Sunlit Nights

Nicholas Browning

Imagination, the light of origination.

The scepter'd principal: divinity.

Locked the ways to time all but gone,

Set free the shackles of tranquility.

 

Till light doth thou march,

And till death doth ye descend.

Until night arrives.

 

Warping matter surrounding it,

Breathing dust trapped in the space.

To shrivel, to wither:

For all concerns disintegrate.

 

Cradling both sides, evil and the good,

Deemed long ago that nothing ever should.

Halted no man, ceased no expulsion,

Weighed by scale the value of their devotion.

 

Fate's red string connects believers,

In the same sense that a rag affixes moisture.

To be used by those found "Worthy",

Given a ticket, and number, to sit idly in the foyer.

 

Evaluate and quantify, paradise shall seek no king.

Give your heart to nature's riches,

And see what merit your faith brings.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Hello again friends, another esoteric write for you all. I've been meaning to write this poem for quite some time, just never got around to it. It was originally going to be called "Sunny Days and Starry Nights", but someone else already had that idea. The poem was inspired by that same person that had the exact name on an Xbox live account. So yeah, inspiration was everywhere. I saw this person's name years ago, and I remembered it to this day. Awesome, right? I digress. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy, and have a lovely day. Peace!

            Wot is 'esoteric' Gold? I googled it to see if I remembered correctly!

            • Nicholas Browning

              Thank you Finch. Much appreciated your kind words are. I'm glad you enjoyed it sir. The last line usually packs the punch, as they say!

            • orchidee

              Never knew there was so much in imagination! heehee. Erm, it's 'esoteric' for me, I can tell ya. Gets a bit cryptic for me. It's why I opt for the simpler crosswords rather than the cryptic ones in the papers!

              • Nicholas Browning

                Haha. I see I see! Learning more about you every day. Imagination is a killer I tell ya what.
