Click hereBeyond the hour of darkness,
entering into eyes brimming
with artistic wonder, mind recalls
sterile eyes floating in backward lenses.
A piece of scrimshaw,
its segments, marred by time;
displays its penetrated scars
carved from a great white shark.
The slenderest thread
holds its form silently in
lullaby waves,
waiting for insight of
will to reveal
its silver earthen beauty.
Thus the artist
with a masters touch
could burnish the tracks
left by tears of trust
eclipsing my indigo ways;
who fancied an eagle of prey.

twelveoonealmost 19 years agoYes, a couple of near-misses, "hour of darkness" as lead line,
otherwise, killer, just killer, esp last 5 lines. Better than 100
