The Singing Poem by George Coomb

The Singing

Darkness,
night without ending
vast silence
where minds
pilgrimages
looking yet
no path
is this hell?
sense of fatality

Then the singing

Waiting
where time has
passed never to return
thought is alone
in this close night
‘Hypno’ personifies sleep
‘Thanatos’ personifies death
both said in mythology
to be sons of ‘Nyx’
personification of
darkness

Then the singing

Myth, a way of
saying things
uttering the unutterable
thought is alone
waiting...
a sense of singing
in darkness
gliding swan – like
to the open mind
waiting
for the other life

Then the singing

Entering
path to waiting
light
Thanatos greeted
with great joy
mind journeys
onward
seeking and finding
hell waits where it is felt
where night will end
soul opens as a flower
young in innocent shining

Then the singing...

George Coombs
