Light At The Edge Of The World

The burning wind is a rising facade,
it sends my troubled eyes into struggle.
While my worn-out feet
trudge onto a weary pathway,
The sun rises slowly,
reflected by the wings of circling eagles.

Memories of a faraway past
burn my lips into dust.
The words that I cry out
will be sent back
by the mirrored concave
of an eternal journey.

The wheel of time
spins an epic of a disturbed mind.
And while you are
trapped in a lonely nightmare,
I will seek for you.

You are blinded by the
shards of your broken dreams,
but still I will be here,
singing a distant lullaby
as I walk these heavy steps
to search for you.

And one day before twilight,
you will recover the
light at the edge of the world.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

No replies..why ever not? I like this, its very easy to read. I like the imagery of the wind and eagles in the opening stanza. It creates a very distinct setting and atmosphere which carries throughout. Im a bit tired, so i dont think i'll be able to review this well enough. I might come back later. I think this is a good piece though, and it certainly deserves some more reviews! x
"Sometimes we see a cloud that's dragonish,
A vapour sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory,
With trees upon't that nod unto the world,And mock our eyes with air.."



Daddy Long Legs are more closely related to crabs than spiders and somehow the idea of crablike creatures with spider legs that have escaped the entrappings of the primordial sea and now crawl over land and can walk up and down walls and ceilings creeps me more than I can adequately describe.
