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…
