At the door of death I stand; a tree of ashes
At the door of life I stand; with roots routing for escape
Knocking, demanding, crying for time to standstill; hoping for life anew.

From his rib she was formed: an advanced edition some may say
A help-meet she was called: fashioned to function in a unique way.
suited for him: like a round peg in a round hole.
Designed to procreate the generation, they set out together.
From his rib she was formed side by side they stood: hoping to work hand-in-hand but
then came a rattling, an inner turmoil: she fell beneath and he crouched above
fear was born,hearts were split: she reached for him, he strected to her
They survived, but the peg was undone and the hole was fragmented.
From his rib she was formed: together they illuminated the world
a thing of beauty to behold: alone they brightened a room
Potentials buried by warring shadows: the growing darkness suffocating within and without.
Designed to sustain the generations, they live to survive each other.
In respnse to the daily prompt survival and generation.

Let me know you think.
K is for Kabbalistic
Echoing steps at dawn: stories of darkness
faint whispers of: demons retreating,
a vortex sweeping through: leaving behind a trail of destruction.
Is there hope in Zion?: who shall save us?
The kabbalistic home rages: a crimson hue adorns the skies
lambs and wolves alike are slain: no soul is safe.
Is there no hope in Zion?
Open the pages: look within,
therein lies hope: banish the resounding fear
The throne of secrets: and covert shadows
shall be destroyed: with the truth
There is hope in Zion: cloaked in the innocence and bravery of a suckling babe.
This was written as a cleave poem, which has three poems within; one on the left, one on the right and the entire piece as one. Don’t know if it worked, please let me know.
