prophet
one dewey morning i awoke
and through blurred eyes witnessed
a saintess, clad in earthen robes
humming tones of honeyed sorrow
she beckoned me forth unto her pasture
and i marched, a cry on my lips
and all the while
visions of ink
clouded
my
mind
light
draws
ever nearer
soothing, and
stilling my tainted heart
and with a gasp, bursts through
illuminating her unfathomable flowing robes.
she bears witness to my outstretched grasp
“i see a black despair in your eyes, traveler”
“yet they are hollow, with tears run dry”
“will you not rest your soul by my fire?”

@youngvagabond yea, i typed it like that to try and symbolize the fall and eventual rise of the “traveler” in this poem, to visualize the tone better so to say. and thank you kind human being, i appreciate your kindness
