Listening to every heart

Maybe I’m Alone

Some say the world should be seen
only in black and white,
with no distortion of shadows or gray,
it only confusing their perceived reality.

But I would go here, deep in the heart
of barely apparent shadow moments
becoming gray with hoarfrost
if I stood still
long enough,
if my blood ran slow, and
cold enough…

but they tell me I am too warm,
that pink, gold and green would
put color into their life,

they, the ones
that live in shadows…

~*~

and in the barely see me here gray,
there, on a small curving bridge,
I revel in vastness so overwhelming,
for no horizon is seen to give
perspective, no top
to come crashing down,
just expansive gray, and thoughts
that travel with no end…

~*~

maybe they see me here, somewhere
in this poem, or just maybe,

maybe I’m alone.

In total stillness communication is easier ...
Beautiful picture!
A peace filled write with perceptions of beyond.

Karilea, I enjoyed your writing,
but I hope it's mainly the cold season
that has you feeling forlorn of hope.

I thought it was just me, but the more
you talk to people, the more you find out
that they too get these kinds of feelings
during this time.

But hey, we're in February already, and before we know it, all of these cool and
icy thoughts will melt away, and you'll
once again be surrounded by all the warm
and vibrant colors that truly become, and
suit you.

And me too! I can't hardly wait.
I keep saying I'm going to move closer
to the equator... lol

Well, you stay warm okay?
And keep writing your wonderful poetry!

There's no such thing as a
snow fork is there?

lol

A three pronged ice pick maybe?

Wow to both poem and pic Kari. I've got a perfect Ansel Adams shot out my window. Tonight it's so bright from the snow reflecting the moonlight, that I can still see the black tree silhouettes against a white, almost iridescent sky.

No...Dear One... YOU will never be alone,
not even when all has stopped around you
and the greys turn the meager light to
darkness....Never....for in our hearts
you reside....and with that a given, you
will never be alone...

I see you there Karilea! You have just walked out of view after sitting quietly on the bench. Lovely write and pic as well. I've missed your writing while I have been without my puter. hugs, Chris

The poem is great, and forlorn. The photo is darn near Ansel Adams in it's black-reference frame. Beautifully done. Kudos to whomever took the photo. I wonder what Toerag thinks of it, as he is a professional photographer.
