I’ve awoken from a disturbed sleep into a day I am not ready for. A new dawn crawls into my room guiding me in a half finished dream down the stairs where I sit and converse softly with family. My back window, dull in condensation, is wiped clean for a view of a quiet motorway. The greens and parks abandoned sit happily with their bland stone neighbours, under a heavy sky with grey clouds crawling. Ushered on, I see today with a beautiful smile. Wash my tired eyes, standing in slumber too exhausted to be proud, wrapped in humble beginnings I am at peace with my surround. The sky reflects my heart, its breath was drawn clean from infancy; I found the new romanticism that has always been ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one". Edward Keating ----- |

"I am at peace with my surround". You've really said so much here that is full of simple joys and yet there is so much wisdom in your poem. Thanks, Brian, I needed the peaceful feeling you've given me in these lovely words. Ellie 02 |

Hi Bryan, I loved this. "My back window, dull in condensation, is wiped clean for a view of a quiet motorway." Just a lovely way to remind us, get on with it! Really, really enjoyed this one. Blessings and thanks, Marcy |

The imagery you used gives a clear picture. The peace that flows from this poem is just wonderful! |

 I love your intricacy of facing a brand new day. The mundane begets a new vision on life...Bob <>< |
