dedalus Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The mountain came very near and filled the windscreen before it fell away of a sudden just like that and all I coud see was the pallid blue sky hosting wispy clouds. It was a close -run thing, a re-entry into the permanent world I had just come back from where all was dark and silent and there can be no time unless one awakes. And if one does not awake I suppose this must be death: no trumpets virgins or angels.

Tinker Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi Brendan, This piece is so clear and simple and honest. It just feels real, as if I am there experiencing what you experienced. I am probably not making much sense but that was my reaction to your poem. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdelano Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 This spoke to me, in my own twisted way. I feel empathy. Welcome home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Good to see you again. This coincides interestingly with a book I'm reading at the moment.. Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter's, “The Long Earth”..and “stepping” back and forth from a "Datum Earth" through different parallels of reality. B.

Gatekeeper Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I am finding this not so clear - perhaps it is a bit too spare or the gap between the experiences a bit too wide. And soon Death will become the New Black of fashion, what with all the baby-boomers "coming of a certain age". Quote from the black desert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Coming back to this and bearing in mind the cryptic date: 74 people were killed then, after an illegally constructed building collapsed in Thane, India. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Bren, There is something fresh and immediate about this piece, with its brevity and sense of awareness. I don't know everything about the circumstances and perhaps don't need to. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
