Poem Artwork

Starting tomorrow moving week
will be here when I can;-)


~~*~~


The night held a mysterious mood
I sat at the outdoor cafe in a brood
Alone because I have chosen to be
With champagne and stars for company
I have retreated from a world gone mad
There's nothing left in it  to make me glad
I contemplate the future it looks grim
Povery, disease, war,my sight grows dim
Trying to see beyond societies ills
While confusion and ignorance kill
What have I to do with such things
I have a happy soul my  heart should sing
Instead I'm filled with naught but ennui
In a world that has too much misery


etw~

great poeming Eileen, surely can relate but I let common sense dictate. Sometimes as you say, "we have to learn to live in our world" and do the best we can there. Actually the world is too big and has too much going on to get tangled up in its web, just where the spider wants us

You are in my prayers, Eileen; hope everything goes smoothly! Take care, and do stop by when you get the chance! I miss you when you aren't here! Very well done yet again; brava~!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Sometimes, we all must retreat - to keep our sanity.

And Wishing you a Happy Move, Tiger Lily.

Ah Eileen, sometimes you just have to retreat to such a place. This is so powerful and excellent.

Echoing poor Vincent's exasperation here, ET. But what a gift his painting is to the world. The starry starry night Don McClean song
was such a great tribute and you have done/did him justice, too. And the Lust for Life Kirk Douglas film was marvellous as well. Paint your palette blue and grey, ET. :-))) kenny

sometimes the world is too much with us, Eileen. my deepest hope for you is that you continue to celebrate the stars in your new home and also see the flowering of hope in the people you meet day by day. matter of fact, I think that's my hope for me, too. :) be well in the transition time, Dawn

I'm feeling as you do in your poem . You sound exactly as my thoughts and they resonate in your pen. Mariah and I have packed so much that the feeling of "being boxed in" has meaning. We are moving as well...bigger place with an art studuo. The US has no borders when three powrrs cut a groove.
Love,
