Holiday Blues by Carole Mathys Saturday, December 31, 2005 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
*~ Holiday Blues ~* *presents all opened and admired* *safely secured for travel* *one last toast offered* *glasses raised high* *hugs and smiles all around* *waving them off with tears* *in front of the fireplace* *wine glass half empty* *staring into the flames* *I put my holiday face away* *letting in those private thoughts* *I hide behind a smiling face* *in this self imposed solitude I am not alone* *holiday doldrums drape shroud like over me* *walking into my shadow places* *taking indecision and confusion with me* *answers still remain illusive* *playing hide and seek with my equilibrium* *fragmented thoughts and memories* *peeling outwards one upon the other* *in an intricate labyrinth* *of overlapping whorls* *coiling together* *in convoluted images* *yet memories strand me on the barrier of loneliness* *in my personal void of isolation* *�2005* *Carole Mathys*

I can completely identify with the sentiments so vividly expressed in this poem, Carole. You have reached the depth of my soul with your words. Happy New Year to you with love and peace, Regis

Unfortunately there is a lot of depression around the holidays. To me it is the most wonderful time of the year. Old griefs are suspended and most make merry. If not, exclude them from your crowd. Who needs the grief. You set the mood very well with this work. It is all attitude and some attitudes really suck. Have a great New Year.

Telling it like it is for a lot of people. I think this kind of problem with the aftermath of the Christmas season is one reason I quit becoming so excited about it. About eighty percent of it is false anyway. As Bill would say, I feel your pain.

A powerful introspective portrait that haunts and intrigues.




Reviewed by Mr. Ed	12/31/2005

Truly hope the New Year brings much happiness, Carole, and that it chases away those Holiday Blues.

You paint this portrait well, Carole. I can see it clearly and it is done with a masters touch. Though blue is the dominant color there is the palette still to be used. Be blessed in the New Year! Love, Eileen
