The days ’ve returned
the way from grain to flower-
invisible to eyes, the change
sensed from within.
Tentative smile,
the glimpse afar,
the thoughts on the path
to find a trouble,
to solve the riddle
follow the heart’s compass.
The arrow. Detour.
The rooting numbers.
Life seemingly hangs out
for the straw.
The chocolate
cherry/berry ice-cream
reunion with ghosts-
they silently applaud
for efforts.
Proceeded in the dark,
where parallel lines crossed,
the rainy cape keeps
old sins sealed;
where blindly
reached the coast,
the arms with
candle,
highlighted bloody
footprints on the
ragged hill!
The days ’ve returned…
Who wished on…?
Who dares
to call them ‘mission’ ?

The beauty of change can never be dampened even if not seen. It is still felt! Nicely humbird!

If only humans could 'change' so beautifully...but I guess not all 'change' should be seen this way? Soooooooo I guess there is good change, and bad change. I suspect we are changing all the time...and what we see before us is changing...nothing stays the same.
ReplyDeletechocolate and berry def goes well together...no riddle in that for me....smiles...and the days are def turning....
ReplyDelete"Life seemingly hangs out
ReplyDeletefor the straw."...suggests an image of desperation for me...nice lines
Luv the challenging tone of the final verse. Have a nice Sunday
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
Life takes us on all kinds of journeys & gives each person a variety of missions. Nicely penned.
ReplyDeletesometimes in the journey of life we sense change before we actually see the change take form..you did a great job with the words.
ReplyDeletegreat images, can relate to the feeling in the beginning..it's lovely.
ReplyDelete"he thoughts on the path
ReplyDeleteto find a trouble,
to solve the riddle
follow the heart’s compass." - You seem to have encapsulate what life is all about.
There is that riddle which whirls down along with your words... and create an environment of mystery.
ReplyDeleteWell-penned. :-)
-HA
I have a tendency to believe we all have at least one mission in life, so I love that final question. Change is constant and yet we will continue to fight it.

Well wordled. I like the direction you took the words.
ReplyDeleteNo matter the detour, I specially like the opening verses:
ReplyDeleteThe days ’ve returned
the way from grain to flower-
invisible to eyes, the change
sensed from within.
I too love the opening lines here--there is a fullness of life here that I love
ReplyDeleteNice work! The rainy cape won't keep sins under wraps forever.
ReplyDeleteI like the ice cream reunion with ghosts a lot:) and the rainy cape that keeps old sins sealed.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful word combinations you have crafted here, my favorites perhaps were "old sins sealed" and of course the "footprints on the ragged hill". A delight to read.
ReplyDeleteYour poem invites an intensely personal reading, really so universal in its scope.
ReplyDeleteI love the opening lines here. There are actually many lines that I like. You create vivid pictures in my mind.
ReplyDeleteI must comment on the accompanying photo, image. I'm loving green at the moment. never thought it would be a favorite. thanks!!!
