Analysis of End of Days



End of Days
The oceans now rise
upon patches of land.
Salt dripped soil
now barren of life.
As ice caps of the north now
crouch upon flooding coastal cities.
Lost is the Statue of Liberty
under a deep azure sea.
As weather changes in masses
under the sun's glow.
While the ozone layer blisters
from past chimneys of billowing smoke.
Choking back the air
once breathed by natures host.
Trees previously green
forever gone and missed.
Leaves dropped in vales
where nothing now exists.
Heaven's scorn now drapes the earth.
No hope remains from the winds of sand
which now has deprived all existence of humankind.

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
