Stilled Ink Tomorrow consumes the living Let April rain soak into my bones I Willow, stand before Redwood Dawn It is here, the passing of a year God sheds not a single tear His arms are full, His arms are full Within, this loss is numbing Without pretense, the memories keep coming Snapshots as ink blots, smiled in baby’s breath Days, so many moments bloom, Onward seasons will resume It is here, the passing of a year God sheds not a single tear His arms are full, His arms are full Copyright Kkh 4/25/08 |

I have to confess i don't fully understand this one, but it makes me think of standing still while everything elses passes on by. Great write. Any confusion is entirely due to me. Muna seasaimid le ceartas, ní sheasfaidh ceartas linn - Francis Bacon |

"Snapshots as ink blots, smiled in baby’s breath" Such a neat, intriguing line...the composition of this poem is (may I say) 'sturdy' |

"Stilled Ink" ~ the title alone, says so much... "I Willow, stand before Redwood Dawn" ~ conjures up a compelling vision ~ and emotions. TD, you truly are a fine poetess ~ and I feel your loss to my very core. Giving you a loving hug, Love & Everlasting Light, Linda  |

Lovely - sometimes the feeling just wraps and kind of whispers. That's how I felt reading this poem A |

Enjoyed your words, TD! "God sheds not a single tear" - perhaps because he knows he's not responsible. |

Very well put together. It seems to signify that all lose is fullness in another perspective. Your repetition was artfully used and not overdone,."It is here, the passing of a year God sheds not a single tear His arms are full, His arms are full" Thanks for sharing sharyn "God made you as you are |
