Looking for Shade

Poeticdiplo

Here I am again

Been walking for miles

The wind sweeping my hair

Whistling against my brown cheeks

As i have looked hither and there

For the shade from the wintry sun

Where there trees are dead

Whence does hope emerge from

Deep in my freezing bosom 

Whispering, look, again

The mind remembers what these eyes

Flowing with frozen tears tries

To forget yet again

That there was trees here

Forests of love and peace

Has it only been 360 days or degrees too

Once again I am here

Looking for shade 

Where the trees are dead.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The end of the calendar year, with all its festivities is also a time for reflection. this poem is finished but is an unfinished piece. There is pain in my bosom, there is uncertainty, there is joy, there is wonder, and above all there is gratitude in my heart. In trying to understand the pain in my heart, I realise I have been here before, it reminds me of missing the sun in winter and looking at naked trees in the eerie glow of a street lamp. Looking for shade, where the trees are dead.
