Annotations Of A Distant Star First snow, lengthens the distance to hope Staunch shadows of barren trees paint dismal pallet to my eyes Quietness, at odds with the restless beat of my emotions Gears grind into silence, wheels spin into concave ditch Sullen, spiritless winds diffuse the cold over wet concrete Leaving thick and brittle truths to slip against the soul Here, I have fallen…wisdom so hard won crumbles into shards Yet, I cannot look away, nor dismiss the sky in its elegance To lay down, prone upon the crystal carpet Moving life and limb in the mime of annotations and innocence Somehow, the purest part of breaking is the puzzle put together Then make me more than what I’ve been Heat and cool me, whole again This is peace, sent down to reconcile loss So compelled to levy imprint of an angel on the earth For darkness is too weak to overtake the glow of winter white Copyright Kkh 11/24/08 |

Kathleen, that ending is magnificent, and leaves this reader with a sense of hope. I'll be saving this to read again. |

I loved your winter white here, its starkness does overpower even the darkest of the dark. "Somehow, the purest part of breaking is the puzzle put together" To make the pieces fit again or for the first time can do that...make that burden almost worth it |

The below makes me want to make a snow angel but will have to settle for sand angel on the beach here. ----------------------------------------- To lay down, prone upon the crystal carpet Moving life and limb in the mime of annotations and innocence Somehow, the purest part of breaking is the puzzle put together ------------------------------------------- and then of course ........ ------------------------------------------- For darkness is too weak to overtake the glow of winter white -------------------------------------------\ so very true ... almsot as if showing us there is promise and hope even in the coldest times of our lives. Beautiful write and very much adored this one. |
