Renewal


strings unbound
tendons are loose
old glue is gone and
connections dissolve

bridges burn black
to castles of ash
a bell jar of wax
winks through night's coma

memories depart
bury the plot of old dust
leave the future behind
...transformed by the dawn

A beautiful poem, full of humour and grace. A soft rhythm and full, yet delicate language capturing a transition with great skill and precision. Wonderful.

Beautiful poem. Describes a transition with a gentle humour and grace. A soft rhythm and fullness of language reveal great technical skill. Wonderful.

"Strings unbound, tendons are loose..."

This gives such a feeling of readiness for movement and change...

Hi there......

I am taken by your poem.....the process of renewal...of letting go throughout the night reaching for the future, for dawn's renewal and starting again.

great word tumbles :)

What a lovely word picture to go with the picture on the screen. Loved it!

Robin said...

As I read your poem I kept picturing an old guitar, slowly giving up its music and reverting back to wood and strings. Your words touched something very deep inside of me.

Forgot to say - good luck on your Nanowrimo/novel. It's nice to know other people are writing novels at the same time.

Your words have struck a deep chord in me... my favorite line, "to castles of ash..." pure magic.
