When The Keeper Weeps

Missing image

 

 

She is the goddess of the night

keeper of endless ebony sea

where mortals swim

in their secret thoughts.

 

How she weeps over their sobs

the drops filled with worlds,

each soul can find

happiness eluded in life.

 

They rise in loving radiance

set in space as jewels

seen as stars.

 

Spread as a shimmering necklace

forming constellations

of the stories she hears

so many hearts sing as dreams.

 

Which is why eyes oft gaze

with a sense of knowing

at their twinkle,

unaware how many times

one has touched them

while asleep.

 

And when the heart slumbers

beneath the sod,

then she lifts the spirit

to forever dwell in the tears

ever knowing the joy

undiscovered.

    I liked the concept in this write...

    some people could see it as a spiritual write, but I saw it as more metaphorical... that night, or the darkness in our life, could change into such/lead to this... and there was a subtle beauty to that...

    That's just how I read it, I guess Keep your pen flowing...
