THE JOURNEY... (My new poem inspired by Victoria Obolensky's painting...)

 The Journey…

(Inspired by Victoria Obolensky’s painting…)



Cloud, like a mauve bruise hides the imaginary wick

Of a candle, its flame cruelly torn from the stem,

For the sun has been rent within its glimmering reflection 

Upon a peach ocean and its base sliced to shreds 

By an unsettling olive green tide and soothing, frothy shallows, 

Where the mind wallows…


Faith, like a bleeding wound confuses in its attempt to seek

Clarity and purpose from the soul’s weak, insipid hem,

For the past has been troubled by its harrowing imperfection.

Yet the sultry, enticing ocean sews its imperceptive threads

Of promise within a journey from its welcoming, tingling shallows,

Where the soul wallows…
