Crossroads
wide-eyed, she
clutches a single taper
feeding votive flickers
that punctuate early dusk
splinter gray shadows
and offer faint distractions
from the disaster site
marked by mire and molder
she sighs
the candle loses fire

the worship of death and destruction has become so ingrained in our culture... i have ceased to wonder why i have such a hard time celebrating life.....
excellent piece sue....
This goes on a journey from hope to despair. You can create so much with just a few words.
Sue,
We've (those of us who've reached a certain age) seen both the bad and the good in mankind. Yet for some reason we fail ouselves by not finding the path to harmony.
How can we change things?
How can I change things?
I'm taking suggestions. ;)
rel
vivid and sad
Why do we always insist on destroying the beauty of life around us? And, where will we end up? Nice work, as always. Have a nice night.
So humanlike.
Susan, I did not expect that last stanza. It, for me, made the poem into more. One of my favorites of yours.
Amazing how you have tied the prompt together! Well done!
Blessings,
Linda
FRIENDLY FIRE, at Nickers and Ink
A journey of the emotions, there. And done with so few, but excellent, words.
...candle light would bring comfort to a fire outta control... all the more so interesting as rarely do you write of people...
