Dawns Piper

WL Schuett

six white horses 

with banners displaying 

cartwheels turning 

shadowless trees swaying 

 

a trickle of tears 

escalated into a flood 

the market on the avenue 

was buried in the mud 

 

as the dawns new light 

started pouring in 

singing a lament 

this was a holy place again 

 

a fire was blazing 

near the broken jug of wine 

squeeze some more juice 

from the fruit of the vine 

 

dreams were colored 

in a milieu of rust 

and six pure white horses

pulled that cart of hope and trust 

 

on the foreshore of the river 

stand the golden gates of dawn 

the pipers tune was playing 

as the flood of tears moved on

    • FredPeyer

      Great painting - great poem!
      The perfect way to start my day!
      I like how you relate the tears in the second and last stanza. So well written!

        I thank you , I always think I can do better but am learning to leave a poem and go on to the next

        • FredPeyer

          You are right WL. While the saying goes that there is no good writing, only good re-writing, sometimes it is better to leave it as it is. I found I tend to 'over-edit'. But thank God for computers. I usually copy the whole poem and work on the copy. That way I still have the original one and can compare it side by side. Since I have the memory of a fish (3 seconds), I need all the help I can get. 🙂
