Poetry René van Densen - gedichten
'Rise and fall

Suddenly,
a golden city
when just now it
was drabby grey

Then the sun
colours the sky
and the gold
has gone away

The sunlight lightly
strokes my skin
as I begin
to drown

But before too long
the light unlasts;
the grey comes
back in town

I can't seem to
move the light,
make the warm
beams stay

I hug the dark
and ask it if
it could never
again go away.
