Between the Shadow and the Soul, Duncan’s debut collection, explores the themes of unconditional and unrequited love. The following is a small excerpt from the 50 page manuscript.
Hopeless
Even when hope goes out
I will still be searching
Leave your lighthouse lit
I’ll find you
A complete vessel
Or pieces in the water
Washing up on your shore
I’ll return to you
From all of the dark
Secret places
Where love is rendered
Hopeless, but enduring
Epiphany
Forever
This will burn forever
From first breath to last
No hope to guide it
No reason to help it
It will walk the streets
Against the wind
Though marked by fate
Growing wilder
Ever smoldering
From sunrise to sundown
From the core of the soul
Self-confident
Daring
Defiant
Fueled by drippings
Of past incarnations
Open to the future
Embracing the past
great job sweety,
an ocean cove. musical shivers too
What amazing talent. Beautiful, sparse and moving.
