New

A poem

Enter twilight
Skip lightly through the distance
Leave the tale of sorrow and confusion far behind
Break the fast
Stand and meet metallica

Be born free
Seek truth
Be persistent

A lantern gathering
And gates will wash with fire
A new bold beginning

There are now only two seasons
Lilac crust of earth
And the orange mist cometh when the shooting star awakes

Venture sacred spirits forthwith
Now see chaotic wonder
A slice of perfect love

With eyes closed
Scan the generations
As new pastures scream
And break the brick of woven dust

Through the kaleidoscope the phoenix roars
Yet the greens of simple tribes they stand
And wistfully sail on the wind of change

George Odarquaye Lamptey
