"Deception"

edited January 2015 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
They tied you down with golden chains; a view of the sea was your only discourse. Trading freedom for false splendour; the cadence of the waves slowly ground to a still. With the constraint of your soul you reached out; breathed in the air rarefied by sacrifice. At a loss for words even the fallen stood in the face of defeat. Who are we to tread upon this hallowed ground where the shadows meet. Here’s today turns to tomorrow’s noon. Though neither one can be found upon the horizon; just muddled voice drowning in the dawn. A desperate spring seeks an eternal fall as winter’s sombre chill searches for summer’s embrace.
I am a nothing dreaming of something unknown.

    Yes! I believe this is a prime example of how the Poetry and Prose section of PearlJam.com keeps attracting writing of the very highest calibre.
