It will pass

 

 

 

It will pass, the anguish of decay,
drift like wisps of clinging hope,
spiral alongside dreams, carried beyond realms,
where it dies so another can be born.

Yet, dense color remains, an easing balm,
a remembrance; soothing the soul,
here for a time and half a time,
until another emerges in birth.

Silky bright newness, exotic to the touch,
diligently sheltering realisation from sun's heat,
like aspirations of life when kissed by morn's dew,
releasing forgotten loves, higher... higher.

    You stroked the canvas with visual arts, your paint is these words. Brilliantly written with a wonderful use of the language. I could see many visuals here poet. I loved this work. My goodness will this one ever be a task to judge. Thank you for this lovely entry.


    Much Love ♥
