PARADOX

PARADOX

 

Hidden from the world they knew

the dead are buried deep below

the fallen oak where cold winds blow

in death its roots exposed to view.

    Clever and meaningful write Michael.

    A fine write and pic M. yes, it's interesting if maybe we take country walks in each of the four seasons. I know we may have four seasons in one day sometimes. That'll save us some trips then! Just one per year needed. heehee.
    I saw fields, lakes, etc among bare trees, hidden by pleasant green hedgerows and trees in Summer. We've lot of evenings now - 364 new ones left this year.

      Walks in the four seasons - at the same time? - with only two legs?

      363.5 when I type this - its dark outside.

      • orchidee

        Are those evenings usually dark? And when is the change from 'evening' to 'night'?

                I'll change the letters, I said, I'll change... I'll do it 3 times as you have!

                  I've got a new mouse and its breeding like anything.

                • sylviasearcher

                  Lots of meanings to this one but I took the one that meant the most to me and indulged myself.

                  • Michael Edwards

                    I shan't ask which one that is - thanks for dropping by Sylvia.

                    • sylviasearcher

                      Oh I wouldn't mind, just may have been very different to the intended. That's what I love about art. The magic that happens between artist and the receiver.

                      This made me think of my hair. I'm still not sure where it went.

                    • ANGELA & BRIAN

                      THANKS FOR SHARING : Uncle Mike its past 10 pm here ~ almost time for bed. Loved the Poem : my experience : of trying to rejuvinate Geriatrics (with exercise & massage !) is that people do die from their feet up ! Love the fluidity of your "damp canvas" water colour : very dynmic ! Take care of your feet : Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

                      • Michael Edwards

                        Thanks Angela, love the idea of foot massage but at the moment it's my brain that is in the greater need!

                      • Neville

                        yes indeed.. truth captured in water colours and words.... N
