shards of the soul like a window pane strewn o'er the lonely street corner of a cloudless mind lights unshining like a dark pall's globe hearts in longing like a warrant unsigned a homeless love meanders in the shadows dim while a deep-soul chariot rides the cluttered street and the racing stars move through a moon-lit sky as a fast jehu passes in a ride so fleet the sound of an engine in a far-off lane rumples the noise of an empty, dark road as the scattering clang of a broken heart crushes itself beneath its load of shard-stiches sewn with a faltering hand by a life un-lived in a life un-planned |

I liked this, but I'm going to risk looking like the idiot (which I'm rather one anyway) and ask what the heck is a 'jehu'? |

jehu was the name of a chariot driver in the Old Testament who was notable for driving 'furiously' |

This piece is rich with many multiple levels, but then I feel that was the point. And it certainly got THIS reader pondering... I concluded that this pertains to many possible situations, and when one's not subject to change there is no certain cure, just scattered pieces of life. At least that is how it spoke to me. Very interesting read! Enjoy the think-tank this morning. Janette always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

Janette, so glad that this write made you think...I love reading works that set my mind in motion...glad you liked the multiple level aspect and that it 'spoke' to you...thank you for your gracious comments inkedgoddess, surprised by my not once thinking of stained glass when writing this, but surely love your interpretation...and totally agree on the Bible comments...realized that the Jehu reference might be a vague one, but anyone with good familiarity of Scriptures might get it...thank you for reading and commenting |
