Past asylum's finest illusions
just afar the autumn evening skylight,
floating wisps of smoke and coiling haze ballet
amid a thousand apathetic shadows
inclining together in the silver moonlight
to the vague pulse of a twilight drum
pounding the simplest incontrovertible truths;
that even the supreme of men
shall leave no secure footprints
to utter against time
and must ultimately abandon all
in final corresponding surrender
to the infinite abyss.

Thanks for joining Linda-Land, Cole, you are a great writer!

Would you share with us some of your astro-facts?

I'm wondering if anyone besides Virgos and Capricorns come to this forum.

I'm a Cap sun, Pisces moon, Scorpio NN, Leo rising. Nice to meet you!

Thanks for the welcome, Faith.

What an interesting observation that Capricorns and Virgos use this subforum more than any other signs from your perspective. Regardless, I'm looking forward to exploring around here more.

I don't mind sharing some placements: Sun and Mercury in Libra, Moon and Ascendant in Aries, Venus and Mars in Virgo. Hopefully that quells any curiosity.

It's official, only Virgos and Capricorns frequent this sub-forum.

Welcome to LL Cole, thank you for sharing your writing with us.
