Wax and Wane

Jerry Bradford aka Jerry Atrixx on Dec 6, 2010

A poem about good intentions sometimes squandered. A chronicle of imperfect plans.

Just when you think the gain of the golden,

Glorious dawn has begun

You must run back in; depart and back into the desperate dark

and

When the horizon of hope lies just beyond the setting Sun

You must run back into the dark and instruct the heart to not despair

when

The future seems lost, or the cost too high; too stark

Because when the time to find your way has again gotten under way

You must run back in; depart and into the desperate dark rescind

Worry not;

It is only momentary, but not forever

When the horizon of hope lies just beyond the setting Sun

THIS LINE IS SO LOVELY
WILL YOU PERMIT ME TO STEAL IT!

the horizons of eternity
i always wondered lay
beyond
the horizon of hope beyond the setting sun
as you now say
but i’d rather disolay
the horizon’s of sons
still far way
in the garbage bins of time
shall thence emerge some day
if time stands of its own
and has any say
then symbols of joyous hopes
i too sahll display

Lots to mull over after reading this poem, seems life’s struggles do make us hesitate when we should be bold and just go forward.
