Paloma P Poet Elegy

Disconcerted Hourglass

Caress the aching tears of 'morrows
it rains in regret's remembrances,
sustained of sand-like grit 'tween frothy
mimsy and mayhem endeavoring to
rise above the fray within prayer's favor mid
 escaped disconcertion of seeping hourglass sand,
weeping 'neath copious cloudbursts

Chris Green October 19, 2016 at 11:04 AM We stand there, counting grains as they fall, hoping they are constant but realizing that there will be that last one, the final speck of life that fall through the narrow opening that is us and that is all there will be. Not sure if I got that right, but that is what I found here. An amazing piece of art Paloma Paloma P October 19, 2016 at 3:21 PM What a poetic response, thanks very much Chris. You got it, also about acceptance. :)

Richard Lamoureux October 19, 2016 at 8:40 AM We are suspended between the two as the sand of our lives shifts beneath our feet. This piece encourages contemplation. Paloma P October 19, 2016 at 8:45 AM Good to know Richard, that's what poetry should do. :) Thanks very much.

Nette Onclaud October 19, 2016 at 6:21 AM deeply composed, paloma... we must allow grief to run its course before acceptance happens... huggs Paloma P October 19, 2016 at 6:34 AM No doubt, grief has a different perception for each of us, thanks for your thoughts Nette.
