Hello Darkness

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 19, 2019 7:40 am

hello darkness my old friend
it's nice to see you again
the shadows rise within
meeting the sunrise
and yet...
I sense there's something more
could it be what's in store
for those who do not see the consequences
of their actions
fate can be fickle
and not too kind
for those who are blind
let this message be a warning
rather a fractured persona
with those who choose this path

Song Of The Horizon

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:14 am

reflections of the light
off the cliffs
red from iron
mixed in the sand
where the southwest
echoes fall in the distance
listen
hear the eagle cry?
he's just off the edge
flying free
soaring in the clouds
it's the song of the horizon
touching where it can
keeping life resounding
within that melody

In My Youth

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:15 am

wading in my cutoffs
in that nearby creek
catching crayfish.
frogs, sunperch
and whatever else I could
that's what I did
in my youth
every crook and cranny
I followed the water
just to pass the summer days
some days sun burnt
but somehow I found
a deeper pool
to cool off
and kept the horse flies
from eating me up
where did those days go?
who knows

As We Walk On

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:17 am

interludes within the distance
where echoes rise
silence cuts like a knife
where a whisper is heard
and we tell ourselves
that it doesn't matter
and yet...
somehow it does
but that's life
we walk in those consequences
that we have to live with
and the scars
we have to bare
as we walk on

Riding Within

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:18 am

riding within the rhythms
that scorch the soul
echoes that reverberate
whisper answers
that remain unanswered
laughter heard
in the shadows
hellos found in the silence
behind closed doors
faces seen
never forgotten
like ghosts
or shadows of the past
reaching for something
that is no longer there

Echo Of Time

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:25 am

to touch within that miracle
in which we call life
reaching for those places
in that distant future
where smiles kept in the heart
find somehow what we need
and yet there's something more
exactly what I'm not sure
but if I find it
I'll let you know
I know I'm walking
within journeys unknown
but that's the adventure
yes...
that simple discovery
within reach
in that echo of time

Resistance

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:27 am

resistance is futile
within that precipice of time
geometric moments
within separation
centered in that space
climatic experiments
shattered in molecules
within a vacuum
and somehow the chaos
makes sense of it all
how?
not really sure
But it does

Goodbyes Are Hard To Break

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:28 am

goodbyes are hard to break
I prefer hellos within the sunrises
and yet...
I know they come
memories rise within the horizon
touch within the heart
yes..
I hear you
as spirits speak within these earthly realms
but I also know
that walking within those trails
the peace held
moment to moment
with the honored
as the light fades
into the dawn

Wanting To Be Heard

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:30 am

tears for those
that walk
in spirit
down doors unseen
reach for the stars
where the universe smiles
with its grace
and shines within that glory
held precious in eyes
that touch
in a simple love
felt deep within the heart
whisper songs in echoes
within that harmony
I can hear it even now
oh so clearly
messages that speak to the soul
only wanting to be heard

Made With Images

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:32 am

transformations
made within images
revealed in a mirror
that time forgot
reflections shattered
in refractions
reverberated within echoes
obvious to some
lost to many
yet somehow searched for
lost within the light
moments made
seconds lost
magnified
within the dream

Conflicts Never Resolved

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:34 am

conflicts never resolved
the more you reach
the farther the answer
peace is needed
and yet
somehow its never found
why?
is it that difficult?
war in its bloody mess
anger in all its glory
shattered lives
tears fall within the screams
and yet
in all that pain
the answer is right in front
in plain sight
sometimes..
all one has to do
is reach for it

Blue Water

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:35 am

blue water temples
rich within the falls
that flow from the river
southwest
crossing the mountains
twirling pools
imprinted in twilight
winged insects
everywhere
spring frogs
jumping from the banks
snapping turtles
bobbing their heads
just off the water
and if you listen
you'll hear wolves
sing in the distance
serenading mother nature

Waiting For The Sun

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:36 am

crisp bluegreen water
reaching for the south
flowing within rhythms
heard in nature
cries of eagles
soaring in the clouds
sacred to many
yips of coyotes
heard in the distance
where maybe deer
are gathered in the twilight
and the morning fog
lies everywhere
waiting for the sun

Within My Mind

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:38 am

within my mind
I search for answers
that somehow I never find
I know
it should be simple
but it isn't
it's shattered pieces of a puzzle
that needs to be found
but it's lost within the shadows
reflections of what was
yet..
never will be again

Tears Are Running

Post by carndo » Fri Apr 26, 2019 11:40 am

tears are running down my face
and for the life of me
I don't know why
the scars cut deeply
serrating within the burn
jarring my soul
those echoes scream
as chaos is laughing in my face
ghosts jeer
as I can't seem to walk away
from the madness
that I hear so clearly
shattered moments
that tick tock the seconds
within that hourglass
letting the sands fall
where they may
and the questions in my mind
still remain
