Tired
I look, reaching
at nothing
shadows flickering
darkening,
birds wading
in pools,
tears quiet
unseen
emptiness
days drift
I sit watching
sun rise
and
sun set
in cloudless sky,
my soul
in hollow corridors
a wind blows
against
the walls,
riven
deep illusion,
sigh..
dark moon
rising
stars singing
made for breaking
of heart,
no more
do I,
break,
nor heart,
weep
at anything...
no, not in joy.

This is very good. It is deep and that is what makes it good.

I'm Glad to see you back at it again.  This poem resonated with the sorrow, but ultimately triumps in the joy of personal determination & experience.  I would say you show much talent & promise as a poet-great style too!  David

Thank you Lynn, I am a very deep writer. Majestic, I would estimate 90% of my poems are sad, I can't still understand why. Thank you. David, the compliments do me much honor. I really didn't feel any joy when I finished writing this poem. Maybe if I put it into one sentence it might become clear.

dark moon rising stars singing made for breaking of heart, no more do I, break, nor heart, weep at anything... no, not in joy.

Sorry to show you what I meant but I meant that I felt I could not feel my heart break when I saw the beauty of God's works... "no, not in joy" was kind of a add-on to the previous few lines. Sorry if it caused any confusion. I, however, am feeling better now. Thanks.

ok, with that little explanation of a paraghraph you did there, now you got me thinking.  Was your heart breaking when you looked upon God's creation and you couldn't feel it doing so?  Cause it shouldn't break but be filled with awe!

This is sad and I'm glad you're letting it out. I hope we talk some more!

Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

I enjoyed the simplicity. The way your poem touched me, was, all the different emotions that can come when you are open to the awesome wonder of God's handiwork. You have a beutiful spirit and a great gift as a poet.
