Sigh Bereft of Tune

Written: January 20, 2024 ___________________________________ Weary of heartfelt kindness, on rugged slopes, Charming and brilliant, will fall back into darkness. Yet they suit rose and oak, I survive, Mates and minds meet on Earth, Mingle with subdued dust, Few opinions or facts, Slurries, or rules, are vestiges, yet the finest has vanished, An aversion to caring hearts, Amidst rugged scenery, Charming and well-versed Shall revert to oblivion, Dot with ivy and blooms I endure unblemished Soar into space, mates, and sages, Mortar and grime Low empathy or moral venture, yet the finest has faded away. Beneath a veil of dense foliage, I'm back to my ethereal abode peaceful midst of rustling woods My worldly life is over, The cacophony drove me loudness, delight, and pain, faded into timeless quiet I am at ease Dancing across your mind and heart, infusing your soul with tender views Grief will lessen in-depth agony, At sunset, daylight will wane I'm here. I can be felt as you cross this place, Feel the soft breeze on your skin sun-dappled woodland floor, high-up branches whisper, I'm everywhere I've returned home, My clay-creating plug-ins Earth blessed me with an idyllic life, has brought me back in, To adore her radiance, Under my leafy shade It is my place of peace, I'm home.

Very beautiful, honest, delicate... You captured the fact that home may not always be pleasant, but at least it's there. :) A pleasure!

Your poem captures a journey from weariness and darkness to a serene and ethereal abode, celebrating the cyclical nature of life and the ultimate return to a place of peace.. Using vivid imagery and metaphorical language to convey a profound sense of transformation. The opening lines evoke a weariness of heartfelt kindness, set against rugged slopes. The idea that, despite this weariness, the speaker survives and endures amidst the rose and oak, suggests a resilience in the face of challenges.

Gosh, what a marvelous and profound write this is, dear Sotto! It made me somewhat emotional too, as it deals with some poignant emotions when a soul isn't given a chance to thrive in shine & the finest art fades away.. The life on earth is full of turmoils & lessons..Making us weary yet wise. I especially liked that second part that brings in those feelings of serenity. Your use of metaphor is absolutely incredible here. The soul has finally found its home, within peace that lives in heart, wow

Ah dr sotto, what a profound and brilliant writ as always is this! Your use of metaphors and symbolism is beyond impeccable and your words as always flow just seamlessly with brilliant diction. I felt so much reading this poem, so many emotions, exhaustion, and how sometimes empathy too can be misused in a world thay constantly keeps pushing us into an abyss of angst. Theres so much youve conveyed here. Every word and every line speaks volumes and hits so strong too! I absolutely loved this! FAV

Beneath a veil of dense foliage, I'm back to my ethereal abode peaceful midst of rustling woods My worldly life is over--forlorn thoughts sighs invoked--your ending lines spell the essence of your poem, my friend.

I love this symbolic and metaphorical poem of survival. I found myself rejuvenated with these lines: earth blessed me with an idyllic life, has brought me back in, to adore her radiance, under my leafy shade...It is my place of peace, I'm home. Returning 'home' brings home hope and the peace to which you refer. An uplifting poem to read this evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
