Sadness of Light

In the sadness of light we return to what we lost,

go back to that which deserted us, 

hide our eyes from sunsets across a thousand lands

only to see doors without keys, 

closets without secrets. 

 

We lash out at ephemera 

that phantom at the centre of being, 

but our laughter is a dry chuckle 

in a sterile void while words hang in the air, 

there is no-one left to impress 

no-one left to sigh, 

dreams fall like dust and we are gone forever, 

only the mist remains. (c) 2007 Tony Foley
