Found Poem of The Road

(Pg 1 & 2) 

 

 

 

Reaching out to touch the sleeping child

As he awoke in the dark and cold of the woods.

Nights beyond dark nights

Turned each days grayer before them.

In a dream he'd been led

By the hand of a child

Wondering in a cave over the wet flowerstone walls.

The water dripped and sang

Toilling in the silence of the earth.

A creature had layed along a black and ancient lake

As it raised its mouth from the rimstone pool

Stared with its dead eyes of white.
It swung its head
side to side
its beating heart translucent.
It gave a low moan
as it turned
lurched away
soundlessly into the dark.
