Be Still

[Delta40]

Don't alter the drift of my character.
Let it pass the dimly lit lampost
of an icy morning in ashy flakes
till finally its weight avalanches
into the subterranean barracks of my mind.

Though I strive to imitate spires of gold
or traverse the networks to the other side,
I still bow to allegorical statues
of comedy and tragedy,
like laughter and tears at Terezin.

Long before the fortress wall crumbles,
I will decompose into a stately pile
between the folds of an armchair.
For now, I occupy a space,
a diseased existence
and follow life.

Delta this a powerful statement and as always a perfect little gem of poetry from you.

''These lines are splendid
Though I strive to imitate spires of gold
or traverse the networks to the other side,
I still bow to allegorical statues
of comedy and tragedy,
like laughter and tears at Terezin.''

I am not sure what Terezin is but I will look it up. It must be either a place or monument or may be medication...

Anyhow here is my little take if I may as an inspiration from this piece from you to me haha.;)

in the existence of the mind
falters the stillness
the kind that tilt
wince
inside us limps
let's shake it
hitherness
to feel it move
within us
life pounds a leaf
as it hears it
reaves

You will always be a beam of light to many without realising it x
