I don't miss her as much now
that I am near these velvet mournings
and the frozen tracks of their trains

when they pretend to be the wolves
with wet voices emptying
in the hollow windows of a dampened sky

and I have made friends here too
with the dancing of branches
on the eves of the stones

with their brittle sounds
just before the breaking comes
and the gasps of lifeless

or so it would seem their sound,
paints their graveled skin
with miles of laconicisms

smileless, but poetically stoic

I have missed your poetry, DS!!  It's very good to read your words this morning.

Made me feel at peace actually, even in that desolate landscape which fuels your muse.

Velvet mornings, wish I had written that.

Beautifully sad, Mr. Dark.

Just how I like 'em.

Hoping you can hear the *sigh* that this gentle heart emitted at the read of this tender render of you~

My spirit will rise

There will be no drowning

Sorting thoughts from your oblivion leaves me tracing the frozen tracks of velvet mourings and wishing for the dance of pink cherry blossoms instead of branches dancing brittle...albeit, they last no longer in the breath of a breeze. A sound of wolves howling in the hollows of morning seems unbearably foreboding and lonely.

I'm moved by the very intense imagery and evocative use of metaphor in this write.

"I don't miss her as much now"
made me feel happy.... and then sad as the
poem unfurled with so much loneliness
and then happy again as I read.....
"Smileless but poetically stoic"

I enjoyed!
