Discardions From The Day

                 _______________________________________

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.

Susan Lawrence November 27, 2023 at 6:47 PM I was enveloped into your loneliness and gray immediately. All of your words echoing cries of sadness and deep introspection. 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 :)

Silent One November 27, 2023 at 7:28 AM An excellent analogy.. I love this stanza in particular.. 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.. As always you decorate this site with your wonderful word weaving..
