ECHOES OF A DISTANT SHORE

 

a present mind but in a faraway thought

swimming in his own guilt and rot 

it comes around you know, everything you do 

we can be caught in someone else’s wrath too

echoes of a wailing mother in a distant room

the air frigid, death still loom 

her beloved son going rigor mortis 

the walls suddenly becomes haunty

a paradigm shift in symphony 

misconstrued epiphany 

reality is far more than what the eye can see 

a colloquial phrase to steal 

echoes of a distant shore

soothing my ears admist my lot

my buts, they reverberate and calm 

I choose to remain still like a lamb 

echoes from a dying sea 

pride has brought it down from its feat 

his defeat now screams in awe to the clouds 

 the thunder joins in mockery aloud 

echoes, the ding dong chimes 

the sound of death, every human in their prime 

breathe are few, our lives are numbered 

the earth arranges our bodies without been covered
