Poesia

poetry by a painter who now paints her art in words "we tread too loudly, too violently on our earth. we smear our dark, ugly night all over the canvas and call it art." #80 in poetry [12/22/16] | © 2016 lookforthatlight

fault

We are afraid of the darkness descending,

of night,

we contaminate the light,

we diminish the bright,

we say our wrongs are right,

we delude and veil our sight,

can't you see this endless pattern?

can't you see how this will end?

can't you see our cycle of human nature?

we are our own destruction.

we are our own destruction.

The skies are tainted with our

ghosts, our own night

we created with our unclean hands

and when darkness descends,

it is our fault.

And we will get what we reap.
