Even Sadder than That Even

Neville

Even Sadder than That Even

 

It fell

more silent than the

snow     

was falling

and lighter than light

even ..

Not to mention sadder

than the

sound and the sight

of those

war ravaged orphan

children

playing in the rubble

and the dust

of some recently

discarded village ..

So now listen voyeur

heed

and take note ..

For there beside those

dead nurses

and doctors, the sound

and the smell

of your canvass burning

only moments

after being

so delightfully brushed

is a whole

brave new world away ..

    A poetry
    A message of resurrection I seek
    There you lay those magnificent lines
    So well inked with blue describing the red that coloured the world canvas
    Hope I see in the prose
    Happen to believe to the belief of yours
    A new world with a virtue called peace

      your words are a poem in their own write .. and I thank you for leaving them for me to find my friend

    • dusk arising

      The ruin of the roots of beauty itself cries in your words today. For what shall we build upon the ruined lifes but more opportunities for the human spirit to reveal how vile it can be. Like atwisting knife between the ribs of our hopes for brotherly love and world peace.

      A timely thought provoking piece Neville (please have a peep at "premonition" i posted on the 8th april). Our peace loving achilles heel is tweaked into anger.

        Bless you DA .. and consider it done sir ........................................................... N

        'So now listen voyeur'
        this line
        this break of poetic voice
        this brave, artistry!
        is why I'm a proud fan
        dear Poet, Supreme!
        (as-ever
        I read and learn)
        and yes, at times
        I too, have to fight
        those enraged tears
        from submerging my reality
        into, utter despair..

              Great job. Currently our world is drowning in the evilness that is humankind. I pray for better days. Amazing and touching poem.

                This is a magnificent poem, Neville. Magnificent but terribly sad.I can't even watch the news anymore. Hopefully some day the world will know peace. Fantastic job!

                • Fay Slimm.

                  The saddest of sights is ravaged children which your concerned words capture on heaps of rubble to remind readers of the sheer desperation of those found after fire and death
                  - -- bewildered and weeping young faces do indeed need living and caring doctors and nurses - - shame on leaders unworthy of a new world of peace.................x

                  • Neville



                    damn write .............................. thank you our Fay .... N x
