Starless
we waited,
for the dawn
together,
waited to hear
the hour chime,
waited
for the earth
to slowly spin
through time and space
and time again,
together
for the dawn
we waited,
and heard the hour chime,
Starless…
Author’s biographical footnote:
I originally composed this in 2002 dedicated to C.K.whose identity will remain a mystery
A juxtaposition of time and eternity, expressed with an economy of words
A poem with layers of meanings, like the closed petal of a bud .
Loved its clear and succinct rendition.
A hypnotic, reflective ,multi-layered poem.
