Latent memories peel back the past
A shroud of snow
Its desolate beauty
Profound silence saturates the mind
Jarred only by the drag of industry
A weary Sun peers through
Enveloping mist
A trace shift of light
Endured shade dissipates
A glance of sunrise
Another dawn
A ghost train lost to time
Transported down the line
Centuries collide
Subversion of time and place
Reaching beyond boundaries
Wisdom is dying
As it bleeds into the tired route of tradition
A pathway to sanity
Clutching at shadows
Clear-cut distinctions
Blur contrived assumptions
Past and future ceaselessly overlaid
Crossing over as pedestrians on a busy road
Seeping into the bones
Of youth’s crushed ambition
Graffitied walls
Echo ancestral calls
Malignant austerity
Withers on investigation
An unremitting loss of truth
Tunnel vision ends in light
Mistakes repeated
Eternal complacency recycled
Aged sacrifice, deleted
A stream of ideas
The ripple effect
Mirrored in the river’s progress
Wave over wave
Outbreaks on the shore
Undercurrents of unrest
Refreshing vigour
Replenishing rigour
Brooking no resistance
The reckoning arrives
Exciting the senses of retreated lives
Summer strikes the eye
Seeing the point of visual wonders
Wild flock spreads with ease
The wire bird’s rusted gaze
Stares in envy
Rekindling warm words
And the avid rush of upheaval
Bridging continents
Making a rare jump
Towards freedom
Seasoned earth will turn
Another Spring rising will come.
