Creatures
We are creatures
of Light and Dark
we drink the
sun
we dream the
moon
heaven conceived
our being
thought became
flesh
nature bore us
from
her perfect
balance
…and trembled...
We are creatures
of Love and Rage
crashing our
illusions
on the jagged
edge of
our ego fortress
our ego fortress
searching for a
small
break in the
storm
an idyllic,
peaceful cove
some welcoming
shore
We are creatures
of Hope and Despair
cynical
romantics
hobbled by
longing
every breath a
prayer
that faith can
render
true and
profound the
unfulfilled
promise
We are creatures
of Habit and Chaos
we punch the
clock
we toy with
death
heaven conceived
our being
thought became
flesh
nature bore us
from
her perfect
balance
…she still trembles...
