Visions In The Fire
Visions In The Fire
I sense a culmination
in close approximation
it brings a shudder
this sensation
of expected expiration
like embers glowing
in the campfire
soon to burn out
like dying note of
polished lyre
I note the winds have changed
carrying smoke
and defoliated leaves
with the changing season
my heart grieves
and yearns for
lost days gone by
the ghosts that fly
in the face of
our awaited tomorrows

dearest cat
i so love this
especially
'it brings a shudder
this sensation
of expected expiration'
and
' I note the winds have changed
carrying smoke
and defoliated leaves
with the changing season'
truly truly i have read and re-read and can find nothing i would suggest to alter
loved the theme, the pacing and the interdispersed verse
- if anything i'm not sure of it is the title
you say 'like embers in a fire' - intiminating that there isn't really one..
maybe 'visions of the fire'
anyway - i'll be back to read this lots
love judy
