Contest Winner Poems: Shadows in my mind by LuciDreamer When I walked the corridors of my mind. I looked for a way out. Blackness is all I saw. Alone in fear. Does anyone care? Walls of solitude. Bound me in chains. There’s no door or window. To escape. I yell…I scream. No one comes. I’m destine to live. To dwell. In the shadows. Of my mind. Felosophy? by troubled_rainbow Does the cat, upon her throne above my desktop, wonder of the world, and universe and galaxies asunder? Can she even fathom the meaning of existence? And does she ever fear of losing all of her subsistence? Does she ever look above into the nighttime sky see the many varied worlds and gasp and wonder why? Do hours pass in which great thoughts explode within her dome ‘bout futuristic ventures or the final fall of Rome? I doubt the cat, upon her throne which moved onto my lap, thinks of these great expanses cause they’d interrupt her nap. Famous Poem The Prayer of Miriam Cohen by Rudyard Kipling. From the wheel and the drift of Things Deliver us, Good Lord, And we will face the wrath of Kings, The faggot and the sword! Lay not thy Works before our eyes Nor vex us with thy Wars, Lest we should feel the straining skies O'ertrod by trampling stars. Hold us secure behind the gates Of saving flesh and bone, Lest we should dream what Dream awaits The Soul escaped alone. Thy Path, thy Purposes conceal From our beleaguered realm Lest any shattering whisper steal Upon us and o'erwhelm. A veil 'twixt us and Thee, Good Lord, A veil 'twixt us and Thee-- Lest we should hear too clear, too clear, And unto madness see! |
