GONE DAYS, LEFT TO RIGHT... (My new poem inspired by Victoria Obolensky's painting...)

 Gone Days, Left To Right…

(Inspired by Victoria Obolensky’s painting…)



Well trained in reading left to right whilst bearing days gone by in mind, 

Shadowy thoughts begin to infiltrate, which itchy typing fingers hurry to express.

Calm waters, slightly ruffled, yet not particularly unkind

Lie beneath a darker, shaded place, where I can only read distress.


White winged clouds shift with awesome power across stormy squalls,  

The gloom of tension and strife overridden by a rush of attempted assurance

From the strain of pain and anxiety which constantly stalls

The peace of mind. Yet hope’s amber glimmer above offers a gleam of reassurance…

Life’s complicated rush, encapsulated for me, at least, by a thrilling painting…
