What lies ahead.....

Darkness descends
into the unseen gaps 
Rounded by the winds....
Thankfully this oblivion
is only a daylong affair. 


As the sunshine steps into
the world of shadows 
A sunk path emerges
around the dark woods
Whose wait has only begun...


Glistening  shores shall be
mortgaged again as stars
feast on a day's gold.
The marshes shall become
an epitaph of a moment again.

Footsteps shall adorn
the mighty heads of dunes 
as a feather in the karmic cap...
Winds shall carry further 
what destiny failed to register....

Try the word "sunken" instead of "sunk. I just love the opening and closure on this poem. The wind is tied in so well. The winds of change. a poet friend//RH Peat

A warrior song is this look into what lies ahead - you have scribed the shadowed sunshine so well Niks but positive tones are painted into the third stanza and the finale' is strong in the hope that feathers are seen in the "karmic cap" - - a wonderful array of imagery from your talented pen once again. Glad I caught this one.
