Notes About The Poem

Do Miradouro da Achada de Santo Antão - Arco da Calheta - Regiao Autónoma da Madeira

- the Freezing Wind -

Dusk

                                    A glimpse of the sun's rays

                                    the basis of all life on Earth

                                       But, in the back streets

                                             The cold hands

                                               Face to face

                                              Every breath ...

                                               a tired heart

                                               The pale lips

                                             Your mute words

                                      a changing facial expression

                                      I listening to your thoughts

                                                 You strive ...

                                          against freezing wind

                                      One day the journey is over

Your thoughts curl gently around my heart. I read this without looking at the photo, and then- as I looked, your words touched my heart even more. This holds so many moments and emotions. Beautiful and tender, all at the same time. Congratulations Anne-Lise, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Anne-Lise, the photo you chose to accompany your poem is perfect. You begin at dusk, the beginning of darkness. Though the night may be cold and dark, there is light, as in your photo, signifying hope. There is a sense of such sorrow. Take care.
