I'm sad

The dawn comes, another one goes
yet darkness grows.
No sun to rise
into my eyes.

Your absence dims the lofty sky;
its blue turns shy,
then muses fade
into the shade.

There are many types of plow including one specifically named a turning plow. But in my exprience "plow" doesn't bring turning immediately to mind. Also in line 2 either darkness grows or darknesses grow. Hmmm....maybe wilts would work instead of plows. But that's up to you to find the perfect word lol. The rest of your poem does well in conveying wistful longing...............stan

and many thanks for your invaluable notes.I'm grateful.

It's interesting. I feel exactly as you describe in this poem. The absence of a very close friend has inspired most of my recent poetry.

I hope you feel better soon..

that is what the hopeful say;
for both of us must surely know
the wind of life blows to and fro
so nothing stays the same."

Very good piece but could become unhappy with the sadness, but I have made another sunrise, one that is in my heart that can only shine in glorious splendour for us all.
Even though we fade and die, if we have sun in our hearts,
all things will still be bright,
Yours Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

Seems that sadness has become part of our life....unfortunately. we need to learn to cope up with all these circumistances.

"its blue turns shy"

like a conversation pained
the lost words metaphors
in a struggle of expression
reaching or not....

found cared for or lost

that line above makes this poem
stunning

like a word spell to awaken
those reading
those intended
and the writer

powerful and very vivid

thank you Rula!

(this is a soft line intense that I needed in my own journey today...the blue is powerful..
immense and overwhelming..sky feeling...emptiness..fullness...and the shy.....the key
to understanding.....a gentleness....a slowed peice to stop the trembling and unlock
the wonder past the fear.....)

I'm always sorry because I could never fully comprehend your comments, but you know what? I always feel happy to know that my writing impresses you in a way or another.
Thank you so much for dropping by.

A strong piece as always. However, I found a slight problem with logic in the first stanza. Another one goes, yet darkness grows?

No one else has mentioned it so it is most likely me not totally getting it.

I know dawn has always a positive meaning, but you know that time when the sun isn't fully rising which is explained the next line. Don't know if this makes any sense ?
Always great to hear from you.
