Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Monotone Skies

this monotone sky
is less full than i
this moonless night

lonesome is the star
that flickers
in the weave of clouds
obscured of darkness

i stand shapeless
in the absence of light
where shadows recede
hidden like thoughts
forbidden

i search
through the fog
of clouded mind
trying to find 
the lucent glow
of your soul
to usher me
through this obscurity
of nighttide

Sam Kauffman April 26, 2020 at 10:52 PM So many thought provoking and profound images - "stand shapeless," "lonesome is the star," "weave of clouds" talk of lonliness and the need to connect. Wonderful. Congratulations, dear friend.

John Hamilton September 5, 2019 at 2:07 PM Obscurity of night tide, I love your word phrasing and combinations, brings a freshness to each write although similar in tone, each one stands alone. Sandra Adams September 5, 2019 at 2:42 PM Thank you my friend for your constant support and kind comments ..I guess I can twist the same emotion in different ways :) hugs

Chris Green September 5, 2019 at 1:40 PM An eerie and lonely feeling piece. 'i stand shapeless in the absence of light where shadows recede hidden like thoughts forbidden' This stanza really spoke to me. All the way around fantastic. I don't know how I missed this earlier but thankfully I found it now. Sandra Adams September 5, 2019 at 1:45 PM Thank you Chris I now know the reader felt what the night made me feel last night. When it’s total darkness through the clouds. I snuck this one on at the same time the angel winners list hit :) hugs
