A UNION NOW REGRETTED
He wears his coat with collar high
his shoes sink deep
in whipped cream snow
beneath a leaden sky.
And lost as sward in snow bound meadow
night time feelings
in his wake
are lost in nights oppressive shadow.
-
With the day her dreams foregone
embraced no more
she sits alone
with just her memories lingering on.
Cold reason in her mind prevails
she wonders now
what lies beyond
within the future’s silent veils.

there's always two murky sides
in every story's, Tealeaf details
but how well, you've served
this treat of poetic artistry
with such: outlined clarity..
loved everything, from seeing your name
on the screen, to reaching the final delightful letter
of your poetic inking, thanks Michael
(I won't ask
just knock-on-wood and hope
with all fingers crossed,
but I'll share these words
so at east you'll know, my friend)
Yes I do know - you are so kind - not easy at the moment in a state of not knowing but should hear next Tuesday. Thanks as always for your kind words.
Michael,
The first two stanzas of your poem remind me of a special person in my life.
The last two brought tears to my eyes.
The illustration is a poignant one…
for me.
For a few hours a day I stare in that ‘cup’ and contemplate about many things; extracting the best from the past and enjoying the present — while hoping for the best of what will be — one sunset 🌄and one sunrise 🌅 at a time.
Thank you for sharing your words…very helpful.
All the best,
Laura🌻
Thanks Laura the drawing is one of a set of 4 coffee cups which I've just done as a commission - white mount with a black inner and black frame - they look so effective. You've made me reread the last two lines and made me appreciate them even more. How are you keeping?
I’m doing ok for now.
Thank you for asking.
I've come back and I haven't seen you but see you posted this early August so hoping you are just on vacation. Waiting for your next one.........
I'm still around but not posting so often as my wife is quite ill - but will be posting from time to time. Thanks for asking dear Lorna.
Oh my goodness...... I wish her well.......
