When the light becomes mist
And these eyes cannot perceive.
When that voice
And these eyes cannot perceive.
When that voice
just a sound is
And his words are
And his words are
but laments.
When waking up is
again dying
And that groove in the stomach
Turns off any glow for hope.
.
Turns off any glow for hope.
.
It’s then,
when,
Some times...
Smiling afflicts the soul,
Because it is cheating her.

Breathing becomes eternal
And the candle will not start
Because I am wetting it
With tears of ingratitude.

Most...MOST of the time my face wears smiles of gratitude. Grateful for many opportunities, gifts given me from God.
A little tear of ingratitude is certainly not a 'sin'...it means you are a real human! So long as it does not persist. Is there something happening in the heavens? because recently I have been (for moments, that is--grin!) down!
So let all us Peeps--momentarily 'down', rise and shine along with glorious Creation, which also is one of those gifts....
I really like the ending!
tears of ingratitude leave me feeling heavy...very evocative piece...nice imagery though with the candle...
crit is every other friday at dverse, and form the opposite week...
soft and gentle.....hugs to you Dulce.....oh and I really like your header photo too.
Thanks and thanks for the INFO!
:-)
Lovely poem Dulce...
love the header, too - and of the poem - so beautiful - gentle and soft and powerful - seems there is a common theme in blogland of late in terms of pieces/posts to do with "time" in some way or other - yours by far the most beautiful!
Beautifully realised!
Such sweet impact with your words. Tears of gratitude form when I realize how lucky I am to read your work. Thanks for sharing another magnificent piece.
