Limbo
An Elegy for Fallen Leaves
Where beings of sentience,
Languish in nascence
In shadow worlds imprisoned
By dark spectrum's sin, prismed
.
Where the Word of God
Is blurred with the rod
And the gates of Eden
Malfunction, uneven
.
The waiting is timeless
The remembrance, spineless
For no one will save
The unborn, betrayed
.
The end is endpointless
Ambulation fares jointless
Creatures of mis'ry
Enshackled by ros'ry
.
A myth, of course, those there
Pithed with love and with care
Are consolations borne, from Earth
By those born but once, not rebirth
