ALONE

Michael Edwards

 

ALONE

 

Supplicating for her soul

no more immune to grief

his harvest felled with swinging sickle

blunted on the stones of woe

and slow he sank in deep despair

with flames of hope now doused

he swam reclusions river.

    Death of a child? Certainly a sadness-tinged piece, M.

    • Michael Edwards

      Could be - its po to the reader to interpret - cheers Frank

    • Goldfinch60

      Very emotive write Michael. The words and the Abstract certainly complement each other.

    • orchidee

      A fine write and pic again M.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thnaks MICHAEL ~ Food for thought ! Love the MELANCHOLY nature of the abstract: Blue ~ White ~ Black emphasised by the absence of YELLOW (Joy) and RED (Passion). The poem perfectly complements the ANGST in the Poem ~BRIAN Please check my 'Poem for Sunday' Thanks B.

      • Michael Edwards

        Thank you Brian - your word 'angst' is perfect - just what I was attempting to portray.

      • Fay Slimm.

        Even the colour of the abstract evokes pathos and the slow read of your words adds to the feel of deep aloneness - - sad but appealing.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thank you Fay - It's odd because I wasn't in a sad place when I wrote it and yet the words just came.

        • malubotelho

          Sad but soft as this Sunday. I love your blue abstract. My favorite color.

          • Michael Edwards

            Ah thanks Malu - I'm so pleasantly surprised how the abstract has proved so popular - and the poem come to that. It's really encouraging but I guess that's what the site is all about.

            • malubotelho

              Yes, but it is truly beautiful.

            • Andrew Charles Forrest

              There... is beauty in sadness Michael.
              \there it is.

              • Michael Edwards

                There certainly is Andrew, beauty knows no boundaries. Thanks for looking in.

              • myself and me

                Blue paint for the reclusions river, blue poem for the lonely soul.
                What a blue piece, sink my heart.

              • FredPeyer

                That abstract and that poem are one of a kind. Print it onto the picture and you would have an incredible poster!
