The vertigo it made me fall in the shadows - Original poem - @prydefoltz
The musical theme that I connect with this creation, between the lines, is:Damien Rice | What If I´m Wrong?

The vertigo it made me fall in the shadows
Who swims in the fog
Looking only silhouettes
people who get lost
At night
that has no map
Only silhouettes
Here they were born and they left
like waves
Slowly all people
on trips
in the thirst for worlds.
Everything happens
only the chest roars
The anguish of the future barks
and get trapped
in the fire of an oblivion
that envelops all sound.
I put my hands
a moment and vertigo
it made me fall in the shadows
It is a candle that reminds me
my land
that drowned in a twilight
crying for their children
shaking of impotence.

For accompanying me, reading me and always being there ... Simply THANKS
Especially, to my invaluable friend, @onthewayout .
A poignant and pointed write.
The tragedy grows everywhere we look. It’s a tragedy driven by greed a self-interest. Those that have fight to cling graspingly to the hopes that fuel their lives, while helping to deny hope to those most in need… creating ever and ever more disparity and suffering… creating more and ever more migrants trying to find a path to a share of hope.
It is true. The diaspora is becoming more intense and the hope of changing reality is increasingly distant. Thanks for sharing your impression, @momzillanc.
Thank you for your poignant words
Venezuela, cruel e insólita. Quien diría que un minúsculo grupo vengativo de personas iba a poner a más de 30 millones de venezolanos en zozobra,
Eso es correcto.
such beautiful words used ! excellent job on your entry i joined the same contest ! Good luck on your post !! :)
Thank you, @newyorkfever. I love that you join the contest, there we are a family that shares poetry. You're welcome. Read the bases, take the link of your poem to the publication of the poets on Fridays of @prydefoltz, vote and comment to those who are there. It is interesting and nice.
Fabulous work, Zeleria. I am of the mind that we should have one world and not countries but still certain land speaks to one more than another. But they all speak in their own way. I could do with a little more compassion and less anguish.
Thanks, Pryde! Your opinion is very important for me.
Deep as always, dear @zeleiracordero ☻
Your poem reminds me of Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" in his Republic, and, of course, it makes me imagine a flow of young shadows (you've referred to already very well).
Thanks for sharing, dear.
