Viewed, The Obscure

The ghost of a blade slices arteries deep; whispering words can scream heart-songs to sleep; invisible flames scorch as well as a blaze; impalpable fog can extinguish sun’s rays.

The ghost of a blade

slices arteries deep;

whispering words can

scream heart-songs to sleep;

invisible flames

scorch as well as a blaze;

impalpable fog

can extinguish sun’s rays.

    So wonderful it smothered my wood fire. I’ll be back when I relight it… You are a wonderful poet, dear. You wave your wand and take us to magical worlds… 🙂

      Now if I could just wave that wand and get rid of this cold… 😦

        But isn’t that why they call it Canada? Otherwise they’d have to call it something like… Florida. With universal healthcare. 😉

        Oooh – Florida, with Universal healthcare. I’m IN!!

    I feel like you captured the spirit of that tree in your image.

      Oooh – thanks Rosy. That’s one of my favourite compliments ever!

    Is that a Thomas Hardy reference?

    1. melodylowes

      Glad you caught it! I thought it was a fun tribute, since it has a rather Hardy moroseness to the piece. 🙂
