MAN IS A COLD WINTER

Poem Artwork

Trees shedding its last bits of brown skin,
dead leafs falling down covering the ice,
with the first tickling cold kiss of a winter
traveling on tiptoes down your warm spine.

Man in an empty, cold and dark cathedral
feels like what felt a small grain of sand,
all alone on a flat expanse or naked rock
surrounded by walls that are mountain high.

Imagine, lost away in the heart of a forest
looking for a door to escape is a child,
suppose it's your soul instead that's opening
a door...to another more darker night.

Winter's coming and the company
of summer laugh echoes went away,
then we were alone but didn't felt that alone,
because open for a little of love was our heart.

Cold assaulted us, can't stop the shivering,
as we dream of getting a little warm,
it's not the season's cold that make us tremble,
but the cold feelings coming from winter's man.

Some of us are like the trees peeling off
pieces of pain that falls down over our past,
no doors among us in the darkest forest
for you to open, escape and be again alive.

I have my own cavernous and empty cathedral,
to make me feel as little as a grain of sand,
I sit on a back pew trying to chase away silences
with the rasping voice of my pen...as I write.

Reviewed by Richard Cederberg
Reviewed on January 5, 2007
An unusually lugubrious write, cabalistic in nature, permeated with ghostly simile drawing comparisons that lead the reader ultimately to the authors cathartic love of writing.

There is a clinging sadness in this, a deep abiding melancholy, that seems to reflect a lifetime of disenchantment with the human condition. I enjoyed the reading of MAN IS A COLD WINTER.

Light and Wisdom ...

Wow! This is Immense! Your imagery superb~
Brings back so many different memories all at once! I was lost in a forest once, but I was a grown women, but, as a child, I too was looking for the door~ the trail back home...
Also,I have a collection of passion among Great Cathedrals...this write I will keep among the photos, so many memories...
Yes, "Man Is A Cold Winter"...thank God for Spring!
Love and Peace~

George, your imagery makes this a poetic experience for the reader. One can feel the cold and dismal winter through your words. Nice work.
Love,
CJ
