Broken
The night arrived on time
Dark and desperate
Descending sweet yet tainted
Like black treacle
Cracked as old stained glass
Upon an empty table
Pain weary and measured
In the weight of dried fruit and
Petals of flowers strewn
Reed like tall and proud
Tho yesterday we were bowed
Seriously bent bruised and bled
Twas then we ached aloud
Broke eternal
Pon both linen sheet and cloud

A tender remembrance of how to ease the bruises of life - your last stanza spells the way out most clearly Neville - - aching together and aloud often mends the broken and with that sort of healing I really agree. A poet's poem this.......... Fay
thank you Fay for being the first and for being gentle with me...
Neville
Sleep on it and awake to a new days dawn.
Tis true how things can be perceived so very differently the next day.
sound advice methinks & I thank you for it...

Until the dawn to wake in shafts of dreams anew.
You took the words right out of my mouth sir... cheers and all that jazz
Neville
Taking from Michaels words:
Until the dawn to wake, and not have the memory of having dreamt at all.
sometimes, that is a blessing... cheers.... Neville
