Crimson skies bleeding out
in shades of blue and green
ecchymotic
hematomas
Sky has been fulled
Pockets of white and gray
fill my vision

Tips of sentinel's
fingers
glisten with frozen
silver light
shining endlessly
capturing small
images of colored
reflections
Sky and earth
melding into one
small
glistening
speck
of hydrogen and oxygen
captured in time
as so many past

Tell me it shall
never end

Cold air
sucking breath away

Meaningless I am
to this

Delicious here on a Sunday morning...

Your capture here...
You are 'great meaning'
your piece ahh I can imagine finding this in a museum far far away... a billion years away...
A facsimilie of fragile earth held alongside these words as minds focus on:
"...Sky and earth
melding into one
small
glistening
speck
of hydrogen and oxygen
captured in time
as so many past

Tell me it shall
never end..."

And truly communicating much of existence here....

Well Done
AJPIII

PS I had to visit the dictionary for: ecchymotic
as Sky, earth and flesh meld into one...

Maybe it's my mood today, Lauraloo... but this piece tugs at me something awful. So much so, "Tell me if shall/never end" made me catch my breath.

This time of year always has me feeling melancholy. The transition from warmth to cold, the disappearing colors and the arrival of seemingless endless grey - heralding the end of yet another year (*sigh*) - is... well... painful, really. This piece, obviously timely and indicative of pausing to take in the moment, isn't - I don't think - intended to be overtly melancholy... but it feels sad to me. Ah, December Sky... normally silver/grey... is blue too, in it's own way.

My dearest Laura while you beautifully describe winter skies up where you are we are enjoying the start of the summer season here in Oz~
With the wintery season along come the bouts of the blues. I was never really a fan of winter or summer, but I enjoy the season of spring when everything starts sprouting to life again~
A most descriptive masterpiece beautifully ascribed by the very talented and gifted Laura~ You have such a way with words my dear friend. It's always a treasured experience visiting your pages dearest Laura.
Thanks so much for sharing this remarbale piece of poetry with us.
warm love n hugs,
sue m
PS I learnt a new word thanks to you
"ecchymotic" :-)

The verbage in this poem is rather primal, such graphic and powerful imagery. I think you did a magnificent job of depicting nature. This poem really speaks to me of a function: how nature functions, and using physiological descriptions to describe natures function.

Well done my friend... as usual a super write

Will

THAT, my dear sis, is absolutely stunning! If that is not
poetry, my sweet friend, I know not what is!! In fact, this
whole piece is SCREAMING poetic flair!! I love it altogether.
And there is something, just so special and beautiful and
GRAND about a December sky for me. The stars seem
so much more brilliant in the eve. And during the day .. there
is a magic that escapes most other months.

And you've done magic with this piece, hun.
Glorious!

*hugs*

Great descriptive piece. Right now, I'm at the start of an Aussie summer, so a little different to what you must be feeling... lol...
The whole descriptions of the 2nd stanza - especially about the silver light... That whole section seems to silence me in a memory of growing up in the southeast (it got cold down there)...
Wonderful write!
