shadows deep and thick
closed round her
closed round her
savoring
swallowing
her
swallowing
her
heart
lost souls winding their way
to the land of the lost
shipwrecked fragments of time
their only compass
through the mire
her own soul long ago sold
for the gold of another life
blinded by the want of more
she could not look
and thus she did not see
to the land of the lost
shipwrecked fragments of time
their only compass
through the mire
her own soul long ago sold
for the gold of another life
blinded by the want of more
she could not look
and thus she did not see
shadows deep and thick
closed round her
savoring
swallowing
her
swallowing
her
self

Yikes. This is so profound I need to crawl into my cave and mull it over. Nicely done, Gypsy.
oh, gee, thanks so much trish - you know, this is inspired totally by nica [who will always be my inspiration] - yesterday i came across some of my notes made some time ago from ESPERANZA [shadows deep and thick] - to go into a poem - anyway - this is what came of those words as i sat in the sunshine yesterday -
again, thanks so much for your own words which continue to "muse" me! ;)
Deep Deep Thoughts Here....!
Thanks for the very thoughtful words about me and my Sweetie, too....It means so very much to me.
Pure Beauty!
wonderful to have you come by, naomi, in your time of turmoil - thank you so very much - your words mean a lot - thinking of you - with much affection - and many healing thoughts -
oh, stephanie, thank you so much for your kind words and especially for your visit - i'm so remiss on my own treks out to visit others and so, send my apologies - again, thank you!!!
She could not look thus she did not see...isn't that the case even in our own existence?
Wonderful poem, I need to think about it a bit more
Beautiful, and once again fitting for me, as I seem to be swallowing my
self
♥
yes, i have myself, at least, found this to be true in my own existence, anyway - sometimes more than others - like now, for me -
thanks so much for your visits, dear lady and your always kind words -
gemel - yes, i so know what you mean - and so "fitting" that you bring it up - the swallowing of self by self - we can say no to others - how to say no to self? how to escape the ravages of self? to see self?
