fader Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Dormant do they lie in wait till the killing frost slowly abates for only then may they arise to seek anew adoring eyes Amidst the ruin and decay they lie hidden safely away until the healing of the spring when likewise spirits surely sing Thrusting through the silt of past lives the will to live shall make us strive despite hardships we all endure life's cycles remain ever pure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandra Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Fader I am so glad for sharing your poetry here too. I missed your voice around. This poem it's written so well. You use wonderful expressions like these: for only then may they arise to seek anew adoring eyes until the healing of the spring when likewise spirits surely sing the will to live shall make us strive All those sounds so deep and original. And ending part so much powerful too. Thank you so much for sharing my friend Welcome back Aleksandra Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 An inspirational poem, Fader. I like how you tie in nature's endurance and the life-cycle with perseverance, where you write, Thrusting through the silt of past lives the will to live shall make us strive despite hardships we all endure ... Alek picked out some pretty good lines in this one; they caught my eye, too, and I agree with her. Thanks for sharing.

goldenlangur Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hello fader, Long time no see and what a wonderful poem you come back with! I love the way your poem offers hope, new beginning and healing, in the images of spring: fader wrote: Amidst the ruin and decay they lie hidden safely away until the healing of the spring when likewise spirits surely sing Another striking image is: "slits of past lives". Yes, you're right - the natural cycle points to us possibilities of healing and starting anew: "despite hardships we all endure life's cycles remain ever pure" I've enjoyed this very much. goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.

fader Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks all! Its nice to be posting here! I have missed you all! I have not wriiten until lately for a long time. I wrote this metaphorically using nature as the human spirit. When the spirit is wounded and lies dormant it waits till something comes along to heal it. It usually just takes time. It also tends to happen again and again, thats life. cyclical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenlangur Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hello again fader, How well you express the dilemma, which we face from time to time but you hold out hope and encouragement!: f ader wrote: ...I have not wriiten until lately for a long time.

As I too struggle with work, writing and loss of inspiration, I sympathize and hope that your Muse will return. goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.
