Painting the Town With Water

A brand new Year,
ringing and bringing
once again the fear
of time's flying, sighing,
afraid I may disappear.

A mining town,
dying and crying,
dressed in copper gown,
of cold metal's buying
mineral souls to pull down.

A night-time class,
living and painting,
has come 'round at last,
salving and soothing,
creating water's stained glass.

oh, there is such a human..such a ever so, all too human quality about your work..and the heart you 'paint' with...oh one feels for all, those in the 'dying' town...and one so feels for the poet..the desperation within/without, damn, one feels it...you write palpably, Erin...Oh...and the last stanza...trying for the hope 'salving and /creating waters stained glass...you simply move me so much... you know? bravo..oh
yes...
Ah, you...! (((E.)))

Erin this is beautiful. I love the last line, how you ended this. Thanks for the nice note on my page. My real name on my birth certificate is Flavia and it is 100% Italian but when I went to catholic school as a child, the nuns didnt understand how to say it..so they changed it to Floria and my mom never objected so that was that....hahaha kind of funny I think. Geezzz I am glad at least they thought up a nice name it could have been worse. LOL...Floria

Erin,
I know the stained glass you paint with the water will be just as beautiful as the words you post here for us to read. You will never be forgotten!
