Lost Woodman


Burnt almond shadows peer through
foliage of forgotten. 

Dreams lie in sheared yesterdays
where the sun finds no forgiveness
as it longs to shine once more,

and those coffee eclipse iris's
have no peace with the light,
thus they stay in the darkness
where beauty holds ebony shades

in moments of forever.

    Nice work here. I love the idea, the mood , the strength of your poetic vision. And I "feel" the connection between this and the prompt. I feel it in the colors of word choices and phrases that you used.
    To me, this really hits home about one of my problems with people... so caught up in yesterday that they forget to live now. A trap, a prison this character seems to have created for herself... where only the dim light of memory shines. A wonderfully hopeless and tortured existence.
