A New Beginning at The Edge of The Cedar

We dried our eyes in the sunsets 

Beyond time, its innumerable measures of suffering 

Conveyed the incantations of loneliness 

I reached for a rope to smother my thoughts 

From a chair, I laughed out loud in the face of adversity. 

Locked away amongst a wandering sea of fog 

I plummeted to the sound of rain-weathered roofs 

Releasing my visions of hope… 

Swinging into the remorse of a dying day. 

We greet as one in our parting 

Shaking the image of memory 

Pulled down by trial, 

Choking on rejection, 

Waiting for our crossing, 

Saying goodbye in our parting. 

Purgatory: is living through it all. 

Tethered to recollection 

Teetering on the edge of cedar 

Every day’s infinity, a never-ending calamity 

Sorrow, we’ve come to greet as friends
