All the King's Men Found Poem

somebody looked into the inky-black night
in a hope of finding a little salvation from the whir of life
the soundless white haze that floats above the water
the uncertainty that prickles in an effortless motion
the lightning kept forking out of the dark
reaching for the undernourished possibilities
a glossy, new passage is at hand
like the vastness of the sea with all its fishes
the first unlocked door is opened
it is bare and unanswered
or it is a kingdom with infinite depth
it is shapeless and droopy as an unfulfilled dream
or it is soundlessly humming in beautiful hope
