TIME ALONE
The deepest deep of past abyss
where mournful winds play pedal notes
like churchless organs fill the air
in days of heat and dust.
The route of self-redeeming tracks
to walk the purgatorial course
with exercise of ruling thoughts
which time alone allows.

Super write Michael. That time alone is so wonderful.
Love the artwork.
Thanks Andy
A fine write and pic M.
My walk along tracks in an Art Trail become an Arts Trial - seemed as if I walked miles, though locations seemed close together on a map!
They were close together on the map - life scale maps would be unwieldy. Ask Ram Berles - he'll know.
A contemplative write. Oh and the art work is one of my favourites.
Thanks so much Sylvia for your kind comments - they are much appreciated.
GOOD MORNING UNCLE MIKE : ANGELA (11pm Sunday Evening) just relaxing and enjoying TIME ALONE : I guess Brian is at Church ! In the hustle & Bustle of life (especially in ones 30's !) TIME ALONE is a very Precious Thing ! I always have RUTH here with me which is a Blessing but after 10pm I often just sit or lie in my Bedroom & Meditate : Time Alone indeed. Love your very abstract abstract ! Please check our Collboration on HELIUM : Interesting SUBJECT for a POEM !
Blessings & Love to You & Yours
Yours Angeal & Brian XOX
Thanks Angela - just catching up after a busy day - thanks for looking in.
Wonderful verses Michael
They go so well with the pic good choice
Thanks Andrew.
I love this Michael but you tied me in knots. I'm still trying to get myself unwound.
Don't get strung up about it - cheers dusk.
Thoughts and what rules them time alone can reveal - redemption accepted shines the way forward. A great depth to this read Michael and glad I caught your posting today.
And so pleased you looked in - thanks so much Fay.
Hello Michael,
A superb write.
Through time alone can we truly know ourselves.
Keep writing FineB
Aw cheers FB
A thoughtful poem of thinking. Seemed to me as I was reading your poem that your thoughts played a big role on your time alone. So it took your time and ruled it like your muse.
A great summary thanks so much marijoy.
Always welcome
somewhere between abstract and construct is where both words and image lie.....
and I can think of no better compliment this eve to give you than this simple truth..... Michael.... N
Such a lovely comment - you've made my day - thank you so much Neville.
My very sincere pleasure Michael, and perfectly true..
As to your poem, excellent portrayal of " Time Alone"", but Time raises for me this one question: Does "Time" exist? or is it just a man-made measurement?
At least you demonstrate the proper use of time. To create art and poetry together must be the reason we have time at all. Great stuff Michael. Loved it. - Phil A.
That's really kind Phil - thanks so much.
When I look in the mirror I know it exists - oh where have those years gone?
