The endless cartwheels of sunrise sunset as those vagrant, killer, pilgrims numb and mute traversed that freezing, blazing, garishly painted desert canyon canvas 




Highlights Lowlights

 

Between the highlights and the lowlights

The bad days and the goodnights

Not knowing what is said or seen

What is not now or may have been

 

Hollow sounds of faint souls lost in soundless seas

Cast in sanded swallows of intricacies

Lamented in the canvas of painted currencies

 

 

Fallen farther than the stars that shine so far behind

The visions that arise within these eyes going blind

 

Looking for what is there, only wishes for blank checks

While the ink is drying, somewhere no one else suspects

 

What is not now or may have been

Not knowing what is said or seen

The bad days and the goodnights

Between the highlights and the lowlights

First of all, I love how you flipped the first verse in the last verse. Masterful writing.

Its a great poem and really made me think, you know. Not even think, but ponder I guess. Great work!
