As moonlight wakes the sleeping night
A misty haze swirls round and round
And fog drifts in from somewhere else
To settle on the frigid ground
The sound of leaves beneath my foot
That crackle with each stride that's stepped
Release the moment's pensive thought
And freeze in time the tears I've wept
Obliterate the shadows cast
In contrast tones that blend sublime
A unifying calmness flows
Akin to rhythm, reason, rhyme
The ordered chaos of my mind
Compulsion to forge on ahead
To seek the moribund abyss
Awaken me from things I dread
There's no escape and no remorse
The iron shackles clasp my heart
Is this the bitter end that's come
Or rather the sardonic start
Please tell me what you think

It's been a while since I've read any of your work but the classic form and smooth presentation are unmistakably Johnny Wheeler.
Sincerely,

Thank you my friend
Thanks for stopping by and reading my recent write. This piece was very 'visual' in my mind, and flowed on it's own...it kind of wrote itself! I appreciate your thoughts on it, and I am honored by your praise. My deepest gratitude to you Leo.
Johnny
