Rest for troubled eyes....

Once again, inspired by this post by Sylvia.

(photographs by Sylvia)

Cloudy
elbows across
the face,
the tired Sun,
squinting
at the
hovering bird,
blocks his eyes;




Now waiting
to sink
his turbulent
mind
into the cool
ocean waters,
to start
with a clean slate
another day...

He has seen
too much,
killing,
fighting,
jeering,
destruction
on his
daily route
across
the world.....

  1. Your poem at ♥ Braja's post was quite amazing, and it got right at a conversation I was having long distance, expressed my feelings precisely. Thank you.

    Oh, hello, my name is Ruth.

  2. After I left that comment, Braja told me that you write your poems in response to others' posts. Duh, I missed that, must have been in too much of a hurry. So I'm back to appreciate it. Wonderful.
