Cast A Shade

Cast a shade 

upon this thought:

that you are ill

and shall be forgot. 

For upon this night, and -marrow, 

they too shall barrow, this-

that it may shed 

terrible light, 

on this horrid land 

of sad and sorrow.

Written on this wall are words

of a riddle 

“You are dreaming.”

That this be some cruel attempt 

at a nightmare,

awakening only to some red devils scheming. 

For in this, we be minded, 

of test after test,

Job and his land and his plot,

that nothing was 

before & after, 

between life & death, 

except God and not. 

That nothing mattered except 

God or not. 

- By Eric Weick. 

Reviews

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

Lifes' path is never smooth. We all have our crosses to bear. A little disturbing but well written.

[Eric Weick]

Thank you Mad Englishman. I always look forward to your reviews.

[Frontier]

hmmmm except God or not. Very ominous, subversive.

[Eric Weick]

Thank you Frontier.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

THIS HAS CONVICTION IN EVERY MATTER OF THE WORDS...
THE START GETS THE READER RIGHT INTO THE THICK OF IT...
AND WHAT FOLLOWS JUST KEEPS ETCHING ---
INTO THE GRIPS OF THE MEANING AND INTENDED PURPOSE...

[Eric Weick]

Thank you Glen.

[Glen Yumang Manese]
