Mud of soul

186

Owl did sit in silence,
rose the shine of night,
birds in chorus fervour;
thread of inner sight.

Crossroads of the psyche,
mud of Self crushed deep,
thorns of grief revealing;
called to darkest sleep.

Crocus pushed damp bud,
struggled to be born,
life did end in suicide;
Soul at last was torn.

    1. Thanks, I have to admit that my poems speak for themselves and simply flow quickly. I might change a word or two on re-reading but that is it.
