Whispering shadows

Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)

Whispering shadows
Paths accrues through endless shores of time
 Reach out to the edge of the sea

We roam adrift till
Bridges crossed to find
That which we do not know

Mountains in the distance yet to climb
Through dark caverns of ourselves
And Snake pits of the soul

Out of molten whombs
Jacobs’s ladder rises to a crimson sun
Northern lights
sets Compass  straight that
sail upon the open seas
