i am sitting here on a rainy cold saturday almost afternoon---and wanting to write-----hmmm it just hit me---i am going to try my hand at my first love---of writing that is---poetry
a shunning thought entered her head as she wrestled to find a comfortable position---what would the answer be---who would tell her----it really didn't matter---at this point little did--
some would accuse her of a rebellious heart--others would or could empathize---though unfortunately they likely did not share this with anyone
she knew things and knew that meant she knew little-----maybe that is where this desolate presence had entered----at the realization of a sort of futility to be left with
the menacing skies seemed to be whispering----we are enveloping you---there is ultimately no escape---she knew better
while yes there was truth in the unknown and bitterness just beyond that first delectable taste--
her peace would beckon her back to reality----her hope of a shadow standing right in front of her---struggling to be seen and explain
To hold a tangible hope is everything.
ReplyDeletevery true joanne!
DeleteI like the words you used: Menacing skies. It all sounds so desolate and hopeless.
ReplyDeletethat's what the situation wanted her to think or life--but she knew better--thanks sherry--nice to hear from you---coming over now for a long over-due visit!
DeleteThere's so much hope here. Nice work, Lynn!
ReplyDeletei am glad you saw the hope--thanks dana:)
ReplyDeleteRain seems to bring out the "romantic" verse in me as well. Snow... well, snow brings out the psychopath. So that's a story for a different day. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat writing BTW. :)
haha i know about that snow reaction juli! thanks :)
DeleteLynn, pens, a rebellious heart.
ReplyDeleteIsolation is being apart.
A claustrophobic feeling of envelopment,
is anything but heaven sent.
Reality returns, not comatose !,
Thank you Lynn,
I like this prose.
hmmm a prose for a prose--i like it ;)
DeleteOoh! I especially loved the truth behind this line: She knew things and knew that meant she knew little... Beautiful, Lynn.
