Eternity, by Nelson D Reyes

Eternity

Songs of Cicadas

Eternity

Songs of Cicadas

Life the path to death

Mortal beings eternal souls

Death the path to life

Wretched demons wallowing in the comfort

Of the king’s court amusement from jesters

Leeches feeding off the flesh sucking blood

Mine is a silence a frail voice buried ignored

Supreme Deity summon thy subordinate gods

I plead purge this body out to fifth dimension

Stuck in hope polarized fourth now in turmoil

Unshelf antiquities remold this earthy soul I plead

Fly with the Muses to a universe beyond Chaos

Where space and time fuse into one entity

Energies meld like translucent swaying auroras

Where pain suffering fear are but mirages of benighted scene

Synchronicity of peace love harmony abound

Gather strength in darkness cicada like

Soul reborn my voice in sunlight

Resurrect the rhythmic screaming

Songs of Cicadas deafeningly sweet

Clear across the four winds

Sing make noise make love

Guttural piercing cries of life

Paving a path to eternity

I read some where there is good in darkness. And then came Jenifer's
"Black Forest", what little light the forest receives brings hope and happiness
to the fauna and flora that call it home. This poem is a tribute to that ever
thirsty love of life in whatever circumstances we are in or presented with,
our dream and belief of the immortal soul in us.
I thought of the cicadas' hibernation underground, the darkest place one
could be, the hope they kept and the joy they shout upon surfacing above
ground once more. Sweet testament to the good in darkness from the
"Black Forest". Thanks Jenifer.

My favorite line: "Energies meld like translucent swaying auroras". What an amazing image. I like! The rest of the poem - not too shabby I must say! LOL

I agree with you that there is good in darkness, Below is a stanza from the poem White Lilies I wrote a few months back.
"A refreshing reminder of an age-old truth
That good resides even in the most evil men
That wisdom can abide in an unlettered youth
And in a hellish life, we can dream of heaven!"

Thanks for liking Brod. It's night and day the story of our lives. Good and evil. Sweet dreams and horror ones.
But dream and hope we will always for we all have that deep seated goodness in our hearts, in our minds even.
