Goodbyes at the open front door
On a Sunday morning in Summer;
An aeroplane shines in the sun;
At home I can learn about solitude.
In the town it’s midday mass time-
A time and a place to be peaceful:
A short truce in the struggle of life;
I purchase the Sunday Press paper.
I’m welcomed in home by the dogs
And a friendly telephone caller;
My daughter awakes at it’s ringing;
Once again my world is revolving.
I am able to admire the day’s beauty-
The far distant mountains before me;
Like a train from a tunnel emerging
I have returned to the lap of creation.
(My own translation of my poem in French 'Solitude')
am able to admire the day’s beauty- The far distant mountains before me; Like a train from a tunnel emerging I have returned to the lap of creation. It’s a beautiful poem, Matt. Reading it in this summer afternoon here is really very comforting. Images are so real that I can see just in front of my eyes and after all this wonderful imagery returning to the lap of creation is just great. Best Regards Naseer
This is a lovely poem by a man who appreciates silence, like me. Bob
I read new art of yours ALONE and found so impressive. Matt! the following lines of your art I’m welcomed in home by the dogs And a friendly telephone caller; My daughter awakes at it’s ringing; Once again my world is revolving resounded in my mind for long. The loved Pet animal you see...how loyal to his master it called its master home to tell something important. also it shows your trust towards animals and respect their metaphorical sound or the look. Read worthy piece of art.10+++ May I draw your attention please to go thro' once my ON HIS GRAVE
