Terry A Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (The Gift) There is too much drapery on everything. Oh Thaddeus you never minded dust Centuries piling like mass graves Shiny bits left to dazzle protruding treasures flirting with light You saw the blue flame You were a halo of blue your words a calligraphy of time Who could have walked in your shoes (?) Your feet only touched ground When you felt like slumming in our wastelands of desire and suffering You learned love by sword by knife by the hazy layers of our confusions Drawing water, quenching thirst, washing away sins, washing away memories washing away your handprints Until we could bear the starkness of a sun without shade could move cold towards a warming sun.

badger11 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Very nice Terry. Particularly liked 'flirting with light'. 'walked with your stride'...just a thought. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
