Poem - Lower Bond
During a dream I traveled to a world beneath the earth’s surface. The poem “Land Beneath” shares aspects of the dream.
Lower Bond
I’ll meet you there, along the path
boulevards will shepherd us
two lost souls beneath the fray
invoked by peril to a land below
search for the hidden underground
entrance under the danger words
just stand still and you’ll sink
to a place few suspect
you’ll descend to the nether ream
known to those who travel there
though more than you would think
beneath the staid reality
visiting is the only option
for some reason none will reside
instead they travel here to there
past the echoes of bygone days
it’s a world lost to time
lodged beneath what you know
left behind to find its way
nothing changed, there to stay
at the end we’ll ascend
no longer will the twilight shine
seek the light with sun’s warmth
leave behind our lower bond.
