somber shades of grey
form the backdrop
for winters emerging
still life,
as familiar meloncholy
descends
with hollow echos
off twisted trees
hanging in suspense
for the songbirds return,
along with me,
now painted
into this bleachedout
picture of noncolors,
waking to
the beauty in the
sadness,
and the sadness
in the beauty
of these unchained walls
of alienations freedom,
and somehow
for a few rare
moments of clarity,
the fog lifts

reminds me of a few of the opening shots from "road to perdition"...
stark, bleak...and profound.
this is my kind of poetry.
great work.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

(sigh) This is such a haunting vision you have painted, sweet friend, there is indeed clarity in sorrow and I hope now the fog has lifted well beyond you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
