Smoke rises; wafted on the wind of regret as a million unredeemed words change their form and become ash and dust. All those dreams and desires penned in promise to say something to the world to speak my heart to make concrete, illusion now lie - grey and unwelcomed in the fire of their unmaking, As I watch the embers blow in the errant wind I remember, the passion and pain that led to them being penned in the first place; the hope that kept me going when there was nothing else the faith that moved mountains - a grain at a time the love, given unconditionally and returned half heartedly or not at all. Images of my life are now imprinted on my retina and as the flame soars the thoughts of worthlessness anger malice and false pride are redeemed in the fire of unmaking. Purified in the corridor of my mind they settle anew hidden, reborn with new meaning and hope There will be no phoenix rising for this part of my life, I muse as I watch the ashes and dust blow away and are lost to the wind. My heart soars with the wind I turn and walk into a new start with a light heart Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Kethry... You really covered alot of emotions here. I could feel the highs and lows as I was reading this wonderful poem. I really liked the last 2 lines. Always let your heart soar It's never to late to make a new start...Paul |

Keth, a bit of reflection, a reality check of one's soul and where we are... With a fresh breeze blowing through the hair...as the step is firm and the stride long as we journey into the unknown of a new and brighter day... Thanx Lynne, you pen well many thoughts, many feelings... |

Outstanding write, Kethry Poetry undoing poetry as catharsis. ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |
