In the language of the common tongue
We weave a strange uncommon tale
In the quiet of a midnight moon
We craft an everlasting spell
In the skin of frail and mortal life
We court an immortality
In the shadow of a thousand lies
We challenge what the truth might be
In the vacancy of happiness
We forge a kind of solitude
In the famine of our ignorance
We innovate a better food
In the winter of Indifference
We light the passion of our flames
In the language of the common tongue
We make ourselves uncommon names

Once again so touching and moving I really really really enjoyed this one VW! Thank you for inspiring me once again 🙂
Thank you very much, Lydia
I absolutely love this one, the rhythm flows so well and it speaks so honestly! And I’m so happy to see a new post from you, it’s been a while and I was starting to miss your words!
I appreciate being missed. Sometimes it is hard to post my thoughts. Thank you
Every line is superb, V W – I love the rhythm, the “music” of this. There’s a lyrical drumming of amazing lines in this poem!
I’m afraid I’m not very good without a rhythm in my head. Thank you Betty!
i have no words… such a beautiful moving piece…
Thank you kindly, LadyT
That bis just so brilliant it says it all.
Thanks, Willow 🙂
Oh, what contrarians we are. We cannot seem to find the light without wandering and blundering around in the shadows for while .
Very true. We are bound to our discoveries of both good and evil
Where were you I was missing you and your poems. Beautiful….”In the shadow of a thousand lies
We challenge what the truth might be”
I was contemplating the purpose of posting again and trying to convince myself there was a reason. Thank you 🙂

We make ourselves uncommon names.
I’ll carry that line with me today. Beautiful and heart breaking as always!
Thank you, Sarah. Is there such a thing as common? I dare say we are each a bit unique, and I hope you continue to strive to make an uncommon life for yourself. Different is good 🙂
I know you have already heard it, but, “In the shadow of a thousand lies
We challenge what the truth might be,” is an very deep and profound play on words. No one but you, could write this well.
Hugs, xx

Loved how well this poem flows.
~In the skin of frail and mortal life
We court an immortality~
that is truth, eerie to see it written.
A question we all must ask, and likely find differing answers to. Thank you, my friend. I appreciate the kind words
“In the quiet of a midnight moon
We craft an everlasting spell
In the skin of frail and mortal life
We court an immortality
In the shadow of a thousand lies
We challenge what the truth might be”
– *spontaneous standing ovation*
*slow humble bow* 🙂
Something lies in being different
Standing high above the sheep-like crowd
Speaking yourself out loud and proud
The world grows large
And unique grows small
Individuality is on downfall
Express yourself
Every way you can
Make your name known
In every land
Whenever I need to write simply for the sake of it, I come to your blog
Thank you 🙂
Andrea
