“OF A SHADE OF PALE” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Alone at the top of a mountain high, searching ones self deeply inside… Exploring the depths of a soul lost, cleansing it, setting thoughts aside… Feel the moist breeze on my face, as the misty clouds engulf me… Wet, damp, flowing into my depths, chilling, yet it stays alluringly… I reach out, touch into the haze, deep emotions, as my spirit soars… She’s there, I feel her, trace her, pillar of sweetness, her contours… The breezes are still moist on my face, I’m engulfed with her, one so frail… Somewhere from within the mist, an image, a face of a shade of pale… ~~~~ |

Bill I think there are places a person can go..to be closer to a place of soul where you feel the reality of something or someone else...sometimes it is simply in the heart. |

Bill, even in the mist you show your heart. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Oh BC this poem is just incredible. I love the way you started it by going to the top of a mountain to be with your thoughts and then as it progressed, an image appeared to you through the mist. Gosh, I felt like I was sitting right there with you seeing her image. Wonderfully written and I enjoyed it so much. It took on a spiritual feeling for me. Hugs, Marti "Even if life is full of thorns, |
