Chards and Gardens

Walking through gardens and chards of glass, roses and thorns contend Sailing on whitecaps, drowning in fear, blues skies surrender no sun Souls that are tortured forget how to dance but I will find my song

Mike, an intensive piece enhanced with exceptional metaphors and your subtle passages of time with its hints of the affected, delicately tethered, and not tattered lives. Ingenious accomplishment my friend, Aloha!

I tend to be verbose, it’s refreshing when a poet can say so much with such few words. Bravo. ;0)

Wow! You said to much in these lines. I particularly liked the fact that even if we forget how to dance (or get too old) we can still find our song. Nice writing, Mike.
