is this far enough for you?
for me poetry is an essential part of exploring ways of creating convincing imagery for the lives of fictional characters in other forms of writing – it (poetry) can also provide a slant on things that sometimes feeds into visual art – this is about one possible experience of loss and abandonment ......
is this far enough for you? belongs to the following groups:
Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! and WMGa cut too deep
(by shaking hand edged so far from home)
not thinking.
mis-taken moment
(unease as bonds are broken)
not believing.
abandonment
(their scent still holds you)
not coping.
eased away
(turning inwards and closing doors)
not holding still.
moving on
(to empty food on shining tables)
not being there.

I love how you write… the images are strong but they never seem to shove me toward any conclusion. Lovely work
Alan Dean replied
in so many of your comments (not just on my work) you seem easily to get to the heart of the matter ….. I try, where I have the skill, to leave these reflections open, to let the reader conclude .... meanings are so personal, so we need chances to reflect more than we need advice or prescriptions

one begins with recognition – because we do not seek what we believe we already possess. knowing i am not there, i search for ways to become; knowing i do not hold still, i search for stillness. we resist this knowing, this challenge to our inertia – hence the most lost will try to save the world believing themselves to be found. a profound and interesting piece of writing my friend!
Alan Dean replied
the travails of a dialectical life – a kind of punctuated evolution
the immovable
is not irresistible,
transcendent meetings
we have become by the moment, perhaps.
many thanks, as always, for the adeptly woven reflections :)
