To a Lonely Soul, Sad of Eyes

on the edges of darkness morning sighs in heliotrope strokes across the quilted ashen sky as the sun masquerades beneath the shadows outcast from another impending storm to a lonely soul, sad of eyes duskiness remains beneath the fogged rims of an endless plight it cannot see through misted eyes a kaleidoscope of aurora in its awakening it lies trampled beneath the pounding of life's ambages muddied like the ground soaked of rains stammering to stand in the tempest of spring's breath unnoticed 04/30/2020

You are such a poet, Sandra, and I always know when I come to you I will return full. Your emotional depth is consistent and your poetry is first-rate. "a kaleidoscope of aurora / in its awakening" really did it for me. Blessings and hugs ~ John

Hi Sandy, Your poem is again so sad - wish all this was over and could take you out for coffee and hot croissants - cheer up Sandy my friend, do you go back to work, do the children go back to school now? You have written it superbly! Lots of hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

ambages[ am-bey-jeez ] noun Archaic. (used with a plural verb) winding, roundabout paths or ways. it was the word of the day a couple weeks ago and I liked the sound of the word :)

It is a melancholy picture you paint (not all sadness, however, need be bad ... as some of it is healing and necessary for joy to emerge). "the spring's breath" won't be unnoticed forever ... I enjoyed the somber tone here.

There is so much sadness in the world, far to much loneliness too. However there is so much to be grateful for as well...
