A Belated Verse of Untitled Fate – A Poem By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on January 21, 2008

Wandering the stars of infinite

Fears, a traveller stumbles

In pools of tears. When dry dreams

Crumble into white stardust

And the hopelessness of wanderlust.

 

Across the blankness that covers

destiny flits a shadow to knock

at reality. The bittersweet

shade of doubt that tingles steady

nerves until hopes and reason mingle.

 

‘Til painted sunshine sends a twist

of fate to churn travelling hearts

while time grows late. Then haunted

rainbows pitch back and careen,

while the shadow that slept begins to weep.

 

But this traveller of the misty

deep has found the answer

to a hope he needs. The hope that lives

where rabbits fly or spin. Makes

nonsense rational and whiteness sin.

 

This shadowy mystical hope

that sings is really just the scent

of love in spring when first the

traveller met the grace that bounced

in rainbows from her smiling face.
