maintaining late night composure

myownself

New member
imagine a weathered stone
set in its years
exposed above the wet to the haggard breeze
for a lone walker of the stars
filling the street
with the clatter of feet
the weathering is a sound to rustle the ragged trees

his is not a lost composure
nor is it found nestled beneath his seat
it merely scurries
beneath red rock and peeling paint
beneath the conundrum of stamping feet
his is a steadfast grip on this moving earth
through the scurry of the herded flock
his composure claims him the world's newest saint
his demeanour draws him back once again

most of this was written at 4am after coming home blazed out of my mind
 
thanks a lot, it's appreciated. i reread this and i like it a lot more than i did when i wrote it, like you said, particularly the second stanza

kitsch, i've replaced the word 'weathered' in the first line for 'eroded', i think both are interchangeable but still that way it won't double up
