Poem Artwork

 


Lights pierced the indigo sky
unlike any I had ever seen


They stood out among the stars
with a red glow


I shivered with excitement
feeling that you were seeing it too


My thoughts went out to you across
the miles, hoping I'd get a return


There was no response  and I knew
the chill of silence had begun


Once again the joy of affiliation had
been disrupted and discarded


Amazing how the stars.moon,and all
of nature remains the same


Even when the heart is wrenched and
the stomach turns to acid


Yet shall,  sun set and rise with renewed
hope in brilliant tomorrows to come


etw-2006

Departure can be such sweet sorrow.
"Yet shall, sun set and rise with renewed
hope in brilliant tomorrows to come"

We can never give up hope...and faith!

It is astonishing, creation is amazing, and we are blessed to witness it, never to be taken for granted. I am amazed at the powerful faith of those who think it all happened by chance.

To not believe in the Lord takes an amazing amount of courage.

Hope your antacids are working..

So expressive in crystal clear terms that are descriptive and alive. Good one, Eileen!

Always there is a tomorrow, until, of course the last tomorrow. Silence can be a good thing. Sometimes it wakes us up better than a ringing bell.

Darn man, chilling your heart out. Must be lurking in some black hole. Well let him stay there and look up for tomorrow is another day, as Scarlett said I believe. Fine picture, but the poem is better, so rich in your custom cosmic reflections. Victor

Such true thoughts here... If I am facing a particularly stressful situation in a day, besides telling myself in how many short hours it will "all be over!", another comforting technique is to look, as you remind us so appositely here, at the face of the natural world all around me... in particular at the face of my dog who, "Quite, frankly, my Dear, don't give a damn" to make me realise that whatever MY subjective trauma, the objective perspective is blissfully unaware. Sure helps me to get a handle on my preoccupations! But, the other aspect to this is, of course, the chemicals that seem to be released into the bloodstream with any kind of heightened emotion... are they ALL adrenal in nature? You speak here of both the balmy tranquilisers and the intensifying "uppers"... both required to steer a steady course through the turbulent waters of intense emotional feeling. Along with your turmoil, I also find the picture "disturbing" for some reason... Somehow reminds me of that acid stomach! :)) It's been a long day and I'm extra-special rambling... not sure, in that case, that No Response might have been better in this instance! Good to see you takin time out after your tiring move to appreciate the greater wonders of life in the universe. Get a good night's sleep and wake to record for us the next spectacular dawn! K xx

Eileen, your heartfelt poetry is thoroughly enjoyable.
This work is filled with compassion, hope, and promises of better tomorrows.
"Yet shall, sun set and rise with renewed
hope in brilliant tomorrows to come"
Simply a lovely jewel of a read, and I thank you.

Sincerely,
From the Heart of an Artist Quiet Storm
