Borne by the moon amidst the mystery of silence
Glimmering light illuminates higher aspiration
Sages and fools alike chase the lofty ideals
Of a myth spawned under pretense of serenity
Inception of legend cast in flickering periphery
Cautionary tales of the power of the unseen
Unwavering promises of the peace of heaven above
As whispering breezes bring a restless calm
Unsettled discord between Gods and Goddesses
The troubled wanderings of our night sky’s deity
These things not of an earthly understanding
Shall never be perceived at such a frequency
To catch a mere glimpse is a blessing to behold
A shivering shimmer of protective light engulfs
This thirst for knowledge shackles us in darkness
Belief is all we need to be set unquestionably free

Beautiful John!
Thanks Jewels
Evocative poem. I like the play between unattainable knowledge and unquestionable belief. Nicely done.
Thanks DWP. I am glad you liked it and appreciate the compliment.
Why you romantic you! Nice work. How are you?
For you to see the romantic undertone of a poem such as this can only mean that there is somewhat of a romantic soul that is surely part of your spiritual essence as well my friend. Thank you for the compliment. Glad you like this piece.
I am doing well. The winds of change are blowing strong and there is nothing but love and positive light on the horizon. Probably why the subtle romantic undertone of this poem came through to a kindred soul.
Gah! I’ve been unmasked! As much as I am loathe to admit it yes, there is somewhere under all this cynicism a touch of romance. Beauty is another matter it doesn’t take too much effort to appreciate that, mostly it’s taking the time to notice it, for me time is a short thing with uni getting close to exams and projects being due.
It’s great to hear you are in a good place, I wish you all the best 😀
