Point of No Return
This poem was submitted to Eber & Wein Publishing after I received an email that I had been selected to participate in the company’s “Best Poets of 2013″, their annual compilation that features poets selected by editors from the company. The poem was entered into the Poet of the Year contest and be eligible for any prizes or awards. The poem was also included in Expressions, a CD of audio versions of selected poems by the editors.
Point of No Return
From the night’s dark abyss,
the early morning light reveals
blood stains floating on the water,
a sign that the winds of change
have moved in a new direction.
Terror mounts with each tide.
This is an evil from hot knives
held by spirits in men who have
moved past the point of no return
and left footprints in the sand.
