Standing Tall in Pieces
A gesture originally intended with grace, but you wear it like a bad tie. You steal and choke; I am breathless at your feet – and not in a good way. Pointless are your groans as they make no sense, they don’t fight the fight that steals our visions, they only break bridges and burn hopes. You are calloused but scream in silkened snow.
A barrier plastered between you and I.
I see streams of water that wash wounds.
I see mounds of soil that make life.
I see an earth spin on an axis that keeps our feet, firmly on ground.
I see reality.
Break down your shields and piece apart your swords.
See it with me.
Listen close and paint that moment.
Feel it with me.
Remove your blinds and let go of this wind.
Break down with me
I can’t fix this,
without you.
Really nice piece Jess. Really takes you along from choice of words to structure. Excellent piece with an exceptional closing, thanks
Thank you Fred, you are a awesome. 🙂
Amazing piece. I love the way it flows. Very good! I am so impressed and inspired by your works. Thank you!
You are very sweet Joe, thank you!
Beautifully constructed as ever, Jess. It’s one thing to write a poem – another to structure and shape the art into something even great. Cheers.
Even greater* Oh dears, the spelling.
Thank you Chris! It is always a pleasure to have you stop by. 🙂

Burn me to cinders and I will only rise again stronger! Best of all, I do it for you. Thank you Jessica it is good to know I am not alone!
