I Found Myself: Poem

 

 

In torn and lost pieces of parchment

Between scribbles and lines,

In dusty & forgotten shelves

I found myself

 

The scriptures once written

Echoed in darkest nights

Silenced in dusty veils

Traces leading back to them

I found myself

 

The candle that once

Flickered & danced

Casting its golden shadow

To the arcane of past delight

Through of echo of light

I found myself

 

Not in pages that remained

Nor in those scriptures erased

But somewhere in memories

That nobody could find

 

 

 

& there was I standing

In lost hope

& flickering light

Among the ashes

Of past delight

 

 

Just when the dust brushed away

I found a way

In shattered parchments

And faded light

 

I finally found myself
