Somber Symphonies
Jason Reynolds
Shadows
Whisper somber notes,
As the sun nods to sleep.
Dark winds tear torrid skies,
Snow topped peaks shine crimson,
As the sea bleeds upon the shore.
A sad child appears.
Faint at first,
Playing hide and seek,
Amongst the clouds.
Porcelain boy
Screaming mist,
His blue white garb,
Flowing as he glides,
Alone among the stars
He resides.
A single pebble in an hourglass,
Small in the vastness of heaven.
Destined to wander,
Elliptical roads
Leading to the same place.
Perpetually one step behind
The light that guides you.
