The Woods Are Burning

by Satish Verma   Aug 22, 2013


Removing the husk
I want you to find the grain;
become yourself.

The space between thoughts
must increase.
I am trying to widen -

the scope of death. Something
was alive in shadows.
The fiction was rising.

Dust and clouds will blast
together. I want to meet
the snowcapped peaks of sadness-

which brings the human-
face of flesh eaters. No bones
were left to fight for.

    A very interesting write. The images in each
    stanza is vivid and I guess it talks about how the
    beauty of mother nature is been ravished by
    greed..at least that is what I got from this write.
    Liked the read.
