traveling among the shadows
with confident fear
wishing for the dreams
lost in sorrow
spinning
with the hum of tranquility
hypnotized
the steady beat of nature
guiding souls
chimes whistle clarity
crashing waves and rolling tides
stretching to the moon
a lost journey
fools travel a half century
not a guide to follow
invisible scars mar the soul
from the valley of depression
over the mountains of loneliness
nervous eyes blur
hopeless
hopeless
and dreams evaporated
defeated
terror fed
to the strong
the victorious
until the graves of the misguided
weak, failures
the pain ceases
at the last heartbeat

I find this type of pairs of words in conflict particularly creative expression. I use it myself like “dry tears” for instance.
I enjoy these oxymoron’s, they seem to give impact to the verses. Thanks for reading.
Each stanza you wrote is powerful, what a great writing, my friend!
Thank you much Marie.
