Abyss

I am lost without a name

                In the vast conscious of Eternity

                            Dancing through the frozen Flame

                                      Until the clock can strike infinity

                  The rhyming chorus all around me

             Of the mute and lonely space

  An abyss that holds me warmly

                         In an encompassing embrace

         No need for Time nor Reason

      Neither sounds nor views to see

                    With no Trust there is no Treason

                                       When there is no you neither is there me

Midnight Dance

Liquid silver reflects night on the lake

A tumbled leaf, a fallen star, and ripples overlap

Silent sounds of the night sky awake

Each dark ridge and valley, contours on a map

A tumbled leaf, a fallen star, and ripples overlap

Crinkled colors, muted by the velvet-covered night

Each dark ridge and valley, contours on a map

Shades of grey become the brilliant light

Crinkled colors, muted by the velvet-covered night

Still-life blossoms wait and hide their hues from dark

Shades of grey become the brilliant light

But not all grey is made so dull and stark

Still-life blossoms wait and hide their hues from dark

’Til tinted shafts of light shine before the coming day

But not all grey is made so dull and stark

And hues must all be one array
