Ans I am a silhouette among silhouettes, moving
Shadow in a sacred stillness.
I feel calm enough to linger here
And take the long way home.
Columns splayed with dappled forms of ancient trees
Grown amongst thought. All knowing visages of an
Insurmountable strength, magnified by light.
Somehow I find a strength within
To take the long way home.
I'll wind through angular bends of lampposts as
I lift from within to remain on a length of air, suspended
Swaying through the night
I'll land wherever the unknown goes
So I'll take the long way home.
I am one among many,
But amongst the many I have won.
And I'll take the long way home.
I enjoyed this immensely. It felt very calm and peaceful
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my math test.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the last stanza. It's appropriate and clever, and well done. Great poem.
