A Picture

Does a picture say a thousand words?
Were you to see me in this moment,
could you tell of my thoughts that scream inside,
or would I be but a pitiful combination
of yesterday's trials and errors, and tomorrow's hopes
that keep all good a distance from within,
always an arm's length away?

Tired, I would look, and aging still, every day.
Each daring me with chances, choices
to frame my life, to brace the edges
that over the years have become weighted down
dividing, separating, distributing me from truth.
Today I am out of sequence, I stand motionless, static,
frozen in want, a still life mirroring the old.

My friend... still life paintings can be beautiful... but for ourselves...life should never be frozen into a moment... I am sorry today..you feel frozen. Perhaps a ray ot two of sunshine from this place will help you thaw...

Nicely written..and as usual I enjoyed reading your words..

A still life of you should not take long to become a masterpiece.

You work is in between emotions and I love the way you have taken it to a new high.
