Grey Rock


"Grey Rock"

skims a frozen lake
the surface never cracks
complex post tenure stoic
disorder done delivered dead 

deliberate do not disturb
listen silence loudly shrouds
walking dead half in 
shadow world half out

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

This grey rock gives us so much repetition of consonants. Works well.

First let me tell you I absolutely love Neil Young as an artist. Your verses are deep and beautiful my dear friend. "When life sups itself, silence is golden. When love is so true, beauty is also beholden." A fav... God bless.

Thank you Lindley. Not one of my better ones; but I was feeling it.

"I think the worst person you can let down ever, is yourself. The person you must never run away from, but confront full on is yourself. The greatest Strength is always found in the time of breaking, of pure vulnerability, when towers crumble and you are walking through the wreckage, the person you must salvage first is yourself."

"Ugly pain is savage and beautiful. It's kind of like child birth. That's a war cry, in itself. Ugly pain can tear your whole world apart; without belief of something greater outside of the pain, weakness wins, but strength is belief in something, bigger, better...that always wins...and that is fierce."
