Pounding, concrete footsteps

Announce your arrival

And soon I am trapped,

Torn by metal claws

And imprisoned by geometry.

Forget me at your peril,

In the darkness I persist.

I may be enslaved, but

Your book of knowledge was stolen

And, in the final chapter,

It will be reclaimed.

Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot.

The photo reminded me of the Hobbits.
I think of that gremlin being that wanted the ring when I read this piece 🙂

You make me wish that I had read The Hobbit!! Thank you.

Oh such a powerful poem…every syllable feels like a strong powerful voice wanting to come out…and oh, its more beautiful when i read it out loud..

Wonderful poem! I love, “imprisoned by geometry!” Splendid!
