Sullen Scenery

Listen to poem:
Written: April 05, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perched delicately on the shiny cobalt. The brumal sky is where it lies. A sight that truly captures the heart. With such beauty, there is no disguise. Pearly salver shines with a radiant glow. Amber and pearliness, as a full moon show Surrounded by a mist of ashen hue. A wolf, feeling glum and bleak blue. Solitary and desolate it stood. Amid night depths In a gloomy mood. A bluesy dirge, yowls in the night. Oh, the woeful wails of leaden plight. Echoing through the depths of sorrow's reef. Watery paint that runs under the leaf. A mournful melody, heavy and deep. In the heart's chamber, it does seep. A melody dances, in mild waves cascades. A rippling composed refrain. The heart sings its sweet serenades. Whispers of golden yearning strain.

SP, remarkable to me how you can put all these different images together and create a feeling of sullenness. What you have done makes such a penetrating impression on my mind. It's very powerful stuff.

Despite the melancholy tone, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience in the final stanzas, as the heart sings its 'sweet serenades' and whispers of 'golden yearning strain.' This comparison of sorrow and hope creates a poignant contrast, reminding us of the beauty that can emerge from even the darkest moments of despair. Overall, the poem is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of sorrow, longing, and resilience. Through its evocative imagery and lyrical language, the poem invites readers to reflect on the complexities of human emotion and the enduring power of hope.
