A Thread Of Being Poem by Sandra Fowler
A Thread Of Being
How well you speak the language of the rain.
Your mood plays back to me on dusk's blue horn.
Light is unstable as a candleflame,
A thread of being subject to the wind.
Here at the nadir of the failing sun,
Warmth has the substance of October smoke.
It swirls around me with the dying leaves,
Makes song a shadow of more worth than breath.
As everyone, I see, has been saying, you have a subtle and refined, musical mind. I think it was just an oversight that I'd missed your poems, and, as I go through the Comments about my own, sending a New Year''s Greeting and poem to each one, I wanted to be sure I hadn't missed reading anyone's work. I'll be back to read more of yours, Max
A truly beautiful piece of art, wonderful imagry penned here.-Melvina-
Your poem is an holistic feast of images sounds, smells and the softest touch, enriched with a spiritual core 'thread of being' and 'a shadow of more worth than breath'. Love the use of iambic pentameter without the usual rhyme. I might even have a go myself... Fondly, Allie xxxx
Structure, imagery and message all of the highest order, woven through with the perceptions of wise age.
As we breathe, we really feel the warmth of your lines. And this 'Thread of Being' is a lovely musical piece, Sandra. Thank you so much.
LET THIS POEM OUTLIVE LIFE'S FLICKERING FLAME, BLAZING LIKE THE SUN'S UNDYING FLAME! 10 + -Raj
A gentle landscape as only you can paint Sandra - perfection in chosing the right words each time. Captivating
How beautiful your capture of the fragility and the impermanence “unstable as a candle flame…subject to the wind”.... “at the nadir of the failing sun”....
