Grace Descending
by Duncan Cary Palmer
Sharp grains of daylight,
jabbing each other,
drop past
the
narrow
waist of time,
falling into darkness.
Shimmering dread and
darkling thoughts ripple,
fragile starlight bent
by a troubled lake.
Rest escapes
me as though my
soul were naught
but a leaky
balloon.

Concerns
-unresolved-
swarm in clouds
around my head,
more insistent than
gnats on a summer's eve.
The morrow, opaque as a chilled slab of toffee, seems doubly brittle.
How will I discharge
tasks outnumbering stars,
taken on in foolish hubris?
Slowly.
Gradually.
Nearly imperceptibly.
One, two, three, many...
Starlight bent by a troubled lake.

Very nicely done my friend. It has depth and meaning. Thanks @creatr
Thanks, Troy.
Touching and beautiful lines !
Thanks.
What depth trasmites in that poem, when I read it reflects the internal conflict of who is inspired and creates a disoccupation in me to recreate in your poem. As always excellent poem friend @creatr.
Thanks, Yoselina! :)
I really enjoyed this @creatr
It had the feeling of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Thanks, @cizzo, for your encouraging comments.
something new from you, my friend - concrete poetry - the medium is the message
Thanks for dropping by, my friend. :D
