...

Night terrors
Tremors of ill-ends
And rumblings of the failure
Of an immortal star
No thing
Lasts forever
Not even gods
Not even love

The anatomy of
Birdsong and bright days
Brought to life
To lighten
Dark heart, dark mind
Sparrows bathing
In the dirt
Duck movement
Through water
Salvation here.

Sun rising on a dark bank
The mind coming back
To the light
Both light and dark
Serve the purpose of truth
Cancel and combine
Wherein here
We met.

This is one of my favourites, Daniel.
Blows me away every time.

chiaroscuro of hope and loss, of balance...
some things need no title.

i suggest using the phrase "Bathing In Dirt" from the poem as its title.

Rumblings of Failure

I like the title "Symbiosis"...I think it's reflective of the light/dark theme of the poem, of how the two intertwine despite their seemingly mutually exclusive nature.

Thanks for the read!
Lydia
