The Muse in the Darkened Path

A Poem

Top Story - January 2026

Soft path beneath hard ground ‎Greenery wrapped in tender leaves ‎The music of nature all around ‎Withered twigs rhyming with the breeze ‎ ‎I sought a night when the moon was bright, ‎In a day when the sun was caught. ‎Light was fought with that girl's naught ‎To see if my heart was wrought or not? ‎ ‎I see a cadaver deep inside ‎Waking from a long nap after that sight ‎Her presence leaves me with nowhere to hide ‎Soaring atop the silence, like a drifting kite ‎ ‎The first sight of her played a symphony upon my heartstrings ‎Dreams dispersed in a manic daze ‎As leaves shed over a thousand springs ‎That manic moment, gazing at her pure and pristine image ‎ ‎We could fly forever and still find no way ‎The darkened path won't let me flee too far away ‎She stands quite, the moment I stray ‎I faltered at the first calm ray ‎ ‎It was a wonder that met the eyes ‎It was a severance that touched the soul ‎Light stolen from the tethered skies ‎The depth of her void, made the circle whole ‎ ‎
