The time of the forgotten

Oil painting

Strange beauties, witnesses to a sinking time

Forgotten relics of many moons past

Most unsettling, revealing the gaps

Melancholy and treasures in ruins confined

When the child grows and the elder turns to ashes

The soul walker becomes but one

He who was master is now undone

Only a whisper remains for the initiate’s grasp

The flicker of a candle to unveil these beings

The wavering light makes shadows dance

I compose fragments that wander

From dark-to-light, seeking imperfect meanings
