Discardions From The Day

Written: November 26, 2023
                 _______________________________________

In ephemeral moments
Whispering remembrance,
Of gilded blooms
Once shoved
Embedded into priceless papyrus.

I dwell in visions that have faded away
Life is thwarted by shaping it
Beyond vibrant hues
Stardust tumbles down
Blisters of emptiness
A silence that pervades.

Alone, holding only gray
Sorrow tightened
A heart's wound is reopened
To beat uncertainty.

Into an intricate mind
Tones of gray scale.

I felt alone with you as if we both sat together and yet were unaware of each other’s presence. I especially liked ~ Alone, holding only gray Sorrow tightened . You have an amazing gift . A fav for me . Hugs to you dear Sotto Poet , Susan :) Login to Reply
