Respecting Icicles

Icicles arrested in time freeze over tears cried and abandoned they shear and fear in torn abandon when solutions have dried and our mind’s flow screams in silence as a dark crystal night hangs like daggers from thunderous storms Once the solar eclipse rewinds and points at the sky there is a tiny glimpse of the rainbow as drips and drops turn drabs into hope when sepia seeps out and the soul gathers colour Beware of the wetlands and cherish the moment endings are beginnings and time does not stand still

I can relate to endings are beginnings. Change can be scary. I am now going through a transition which has been trying, but I am trying to remain hopeful. Great poem!

Hello Kai. I read this entry twice the second time slower to grasp the beauty and poetic stage it sets. There is truth in endings being beginnings. Well done including the title.

Thank you Lisa, I appreciate that. No icicles here in South Africa, but they are never far away. Many wishes, Kai
