A Poetic Mask

Passing shadows all through the night… Just memories I couldn’t fight… What was scribed on moonlit scrolls… Fades to dust as the hours unfold… Finding peace in the words I write… A soul that bleeds through second sight… My lines make sounds to the eyes that hear… A sunset pouring over the evening air… Drifting dreams uncover my past… Left to breathe behind a poetic mask…
