Melody of Solitude

Ash smolders from the end of a curious bribe
Unwinding the stress of an endless day in smoke
Carrying numbness into the night breeze on white fingers
Rings of precarious exhale, finite at the edges of a statuesque stare
The storm has passed, leaving calm to clear the clutter unaware
As if the judgment of time given sentence in lingering discontent
The air sings in homage to an unrelenting resonant
Heavy, as the breast of fate, arrested mid scream
Nothing will appear as it shall seem, nothing can be found
Least of all, in summer scents and rain rebound
The windings of the wind relinquish sound and soul
Find my mind afloat, at rest of weary disposition
Caveat the predawn mist of August, summer’s promise sighs
And breeze, oh please the emptiness ascends so wise
Then sing a peaceful hum that I may snuff the burning night
And be within the arms of slumber’s lullaby tonight

(four letter swear word).

Great write.

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.

Very deep and contemplative Kathy.
There is an air of sadness here that permeates the whole piece.

Hope everything is ok on your end.

The plight of August
in all its splendor with the air of arrogance as Fall will soon wipe the memory off the crocus again.
So beautiful and inspirational your words this late summer morn.

This one paints with bold strokes and fine ones at that. A wonderful write.

Worthy of lingering thought

You always make me happy that I stop in to read, Kathleen.  I think you wrote about my July.  Interesting and well written.
