Four Pieces

Felt like bringing this very oldie back. Helps remind me how far I have come.

Carnival is here.
Crowds jam the street with laughter.
He plays solitaire

Sits by the window
In a smoky, crowded bar.
Life passes him by

High above the street
A lonely window shines bright.
Love is sold tonight.

Crumpled note on floor
Tells the story of love gone.
Time now for dying.

©February 18, 1980 / Jerry Pat Bolton

Your words have a profound impact upon the soul, my friend! Awesome!

As the viewer you take in a lot
the observer of all that surrounds him...
the solitary man who sits alone, but
a mere shadow of what he once was...

Now aren't we all happy that what once
was this solitary man now can write and
live no longer to die but to give us
those snippets of once was.

I will say this many times Jerry in many
different ways... I love how you paint
pictures for us, even if not of yourself
the views you give us and the thoughts
we must then ponder about this solitary
man who once was.

Marvelous

Love and Light

Four lonely pieces of life on the side. Reads like real life to me. And life is not always kind or sweet, it's just life the way it is.

You've come from very very far, the last sentence says it all.
"Time now for dying".
But you didn't die, you came from far but you came.
and now you're here to tell us everything about your unbelievable journey.

Thanks Jerry

The first three lines of this hold, for me, the complete setting for a stage play. Those lines set up a story line all by themselves. How crafty that is. And your last line: "Time now for dying." portrays the enormity of the drama in that crumpled note. I can envision a one-man stage play with just the man (or woman), table at the window and passers by with their white noise. I'd challenge Tom Stoppard with your Four Pieces storyline (British playwright who created a Shakespeare era piece, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead). Four Pieces contains miles and miles of potency. ~~ Diana

Yes, I would say you have come a long way, Jerry.

I'm glad to hear that you've moved past this person you once knew. This took strength!

Love ya!
