A Dark Moon Rising

Rating: 4.8


A dark moon rising
almost as black as coal
nothing can be done
to save the world

The only way forward
is backwards

I agree. Nothing can be done (by man) to save the world. Perhaps, we need to re-read events, hence a moving backward to be able to inch forward. Thanks for sharing your poem.

Wisdom is born out of the past, and it is wisdom perhaps that will save the world. Excellent Dave.

Very thought provoking write. So much is pulled in here. A sad ness for current life and a longing to go back to old ways. Loved the write.

Nice write. Sometimes it wise to retreat to refresh.
