I turned the imposed silence
Into a positive
An indirect reaching out
When at times the void was impossible.
Visually said I was here
To remind you that resilience
Wins out in times of disconsolation.
Moments came and went
I sat staring out my window
Alone again I thought
But there was a purpose.
I worry, its what I do.
Your final words
Gave a hint of despair,
So despondency plays its part
Buts it’s the unbearable I can’t stand.
I kept busy with family and friends
Dreamed of times when calm and serenity
Will be a great joy.
I await tomorrow
The agony of separation
Weights in heavily,
I suspect you feel it too.
But life is about one day at a time
Seeing what good exists
Where is there an avenue to explore?
I’m not the downcast angel
For hope springs eternal
In moments when stillness
Slows the whirling world.

I really feel you invoked that Rimbaudian element in your piece Michael, the quote was felt. Those opening lines excellent!
Thanks Yves a challenge as always…..
If I knew what the Rimbaudian element was, I’d agree. 😊
I always like the way you nod yes Jen……thanks for stopping by….
Well, I couldn’t poetry if you paid me, but I can appreciate it, and I enjoyed this Michael 🙂
Oh, by the way, how did the art exhibition go?
Hi Lyn the exhibition was great, Sydney people I have decided are not a pretentious as Melbourne folk at last in terms of dress at such events.Thanks for stopping by.
