between the absurd and the painful
a blessed restfulness stands, awaiting discovery
corners of mouths upturned mounted on faces merging to the skies
trapped tears cascading like soft rain
a song, a plea from the heavens accompanies the sound of a gate closing on rusty hinges
awakening old memories, rich and powerful of summer roses fragrant and perfect in the noon-day sun
while in the stunted silence of a brilliant sunset hour
in a sparse, fleeting moment
the tapestry of one’s life unfurls wrapping me today
in its wings
while the distance between the painful and the absurd
has spanned this lifetime
WOW…and I only read it (hard) once…I got images of Hawaii ….what a great opening ‘between the absurd and the painful’ … who can’t relate to that…and ‘in the stunted silence of a brilliant sunset’….I flash back to one on Tahiti ….brava, keep going, I wait to see what Shadowdance next dance is xd
