The Last Eclipse
I can feel a power returning
Rejuvenation has come at last
Each syllable a heart full beating
I can hear scars whisper through the past
Crimson is a nature invited
Cryptic how the soul begins to mend
Placate cracks with darkness belighted
It's getting harder to play pretend
Whittle away every fruitless hour
Molding this course despair into glass
Like season's winter we must devour
For this second wind will come to pass.

Molding this course despair into glass
Like season's winter we must devour
For this second wind will come to pass.

Wow, Fishmander!
This piece is utterly captivating... Your stanzas flow perfectly from line to line and that last line of the first stanza
"I can hear scars whisper through the past" literally had me catch my breath.
You tag this piece as dark, which I get but I'm also feeling a bit of hopefulness that's trying like hell to peek on through....
What a tremendous piece of poetry. I'm truly stoked to have come across it this evening.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Keep at it... please.
Warm regards,
🌹 💙

Thank you for the kind words.
I always look forward to other's interpretations of my writing, or another, since sometimes it's a unique perspective I had not considered before. Which I personally think is the purpose of art.
For some of us hope can only be found in our darkest moments.
Thank you again, stay safe.
