In the space between moments

Bitter verse inscribed
Upon languished soul
Purging snowflake images
Tainted faintly
With scarlet glanced dew.

A meadow hinted emerald
Trembling with dawn's gale
Raped of placid reverie
And whispered
With an icy glare.

Barren stretch of years
Held in shackles of forever
Echoing twisting shadows
Weeping endlessly
For eternities never born.

Apparitions of lofty voices
Linger in lifeless breath
Wading through filmy memory
And silently raging
As loneliness entwines.

*Krista Knutson*

"Lonliness is the human condition."
*Mark Twain, in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"*

Hauntingly beautiful poem. I loved the imagery like "purging snowflake images" that you used.

After I was told what your meaning to this was (My abstract thinking is lacking) it makes sense. Painfully and beautifully presented, much enjoyed.

I agree with Dusk, a very haunting beautiful poem,

"Barren stretch of years
Held in shackles of forever
Echoing twisting shadows
Weeping endlessly
For eternities never born."

Your third stanza is very heartfelt, going deep.
Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
