Description
Apophysis 2B5
The cold, gray fog surrounds me, wrapped in weather, on I stride.
My heart is sad and lonely, thinking of the tears I've cried.
I offered up my my soul, my life; my gifts so freely given,
Betrayed and spurned, I travel on, by desperation driven.
I seek in lonely places and I seek within the crowd.
I search in alleys, open spaces; where I'm not allowed.
I go alone or ask for help, sometimes I find a friend,
But when it all comes down, I'm going solo in the end.
I'll stand alone until someday the sun shines on my face,
Warming me with rays of hope and making my heart race.
The question now is, will the sun betray me from the start,
Burning, searing through my soul and through my very heart?
Perhaps I should stay fogbound, safely cushioned from attack.
Though cold, it is familiar, and I keep on coming back.
I'm weary of the search for light and fearful of the pain.
Hiding deep within the fog, I'm waiting for the rain.

What a beautiful light, gauzy image, and a wonderful poem to match!
A really wonderful image. I love it :-)
So gorgeous!! :):)
WOW is this one fla. or two
Excellent pair!
Very sad.. but this lovely gossamer flame speaks more to me of light and hope than oppressive fog.
Wonderfully airy image. I don't why but when I saw the image opening, I noticed a very interesting figure at the top right that appears to be a geisha bowing.
Wonderful, gossamer flame, Vivian! Thoughtful, bittersweet verse - both excellent. (ps - hope it doesn't mean I'm craking up, but I see the geisha, too -lol)
Your poem is very moving and close to my heart - the delicate, mysterious mists , of. your image are delightful. Really excellent Vivian !
Touching words, Vivian. You got my heart beating way faster with this.
"White out" conditions, but it looks comfortable.
