Shallow Dark Martin Williams

In the shallow dark
Confessing emptiness
To the emptiness
Afraid
That my life has meaning;
For then my sins
have meaning
My good
Has meaning, and who
Carrying the weight
Of a significant life
Wouldn't rather choose
The stillness of a tree
Surrendered perfectly
To life's slow law?

  1. I like the background. The poem you have, "Shallow Dark," is interesting too. The picture goes well with it.
