Description
Fading Away
There’s this sense
Of a wisp
In the wind
I can’t touch it
Hear it
Feel it
It’s just
Beyond my
Reach
My dreams
Can find
The body
The soul
I can
Wrap my arms
Around it
Feel it
Know it
Take in its
Very essence
But I can’t
Spend my life
Dreaming
I wake up
And get on
With the day

This is a beautiful poem and gorgeous image. It really touched me.
Excellent!
Beautiful...
Beautiful...
You did it! Photo first...words second. Bet your words came quick and almost easily. That's the way your poem reads...just like you are reporting on something that just really happened. Reading this is experiencing it. Outstanding.
wonderful work warm hug, Linda
great image, moving poem. Thank you!!!!
Old soldiers never die, they just fade away... (General Douglas MacArthur) Love the haunting image of the moon, Maz. And more cathartic prose from your active mind.
cool
Wonderful mood ... beautifully done!
Super image and I love the theme behind it
Excellent Marilyn!
so Bill said that you started with the photo...so you let the photo inspire the poem? If so, kudos. It's very hard for many writers, I barely can do it myself. It's really sensitively done. And your poem, in all its concision, has real formal music, the way you made the two main stanzas, the 'hear it/feel it' and 'feel it/know it' in the second, very nicely done. You know, these little moments, these little alightings, they come & go but are permanent inside us. Maybe the soul was giving you a pre-waking gift, and you took it with you the rest of your day. So you leave it behind, but it doesn't leave you. Beautiful little gemstone. And nice angelic vision of the dark in your photo...
great !
Your poem is very deep and beautiful and your photo "sounds" like a dream.
