Poem -
A Fruitless Dawn
SunlightÂ
You tamper with my eyesÂ
For why should lightÂ
fill the void of such a soulÂ
When so much dark residesÂ
Withdraw your raysÂ
Save your summer hazeÂ
Don’t waste your charms
trying to catch what can’t be caughtÂ
This mind
is thwart by perils of the pastÂ
Where your light no longer warms the skinÂ
Nor dazzles with its illumination
Bitterness grips like a vice to boneÂ
Just as winters bite turns land to stoneÂ
Whilst the heart poundsÂ
to the unrest of the deadÂ
Words left unsaid
Scratch at woundsÂ
That can’t be soothedÂ
EntombedÂ
Ready to give up the fightÂ
For in this spaceÂ
There can be no lightÂ

Wars of existence…there’s a poem there JP. I like that. Thanks my friend xÂ
Is this a recently written poem Gwen? I too struggle to let the light in sometimes I haven’t lost a partner that’d be really, really tough. thankfully it seems you’ve had the strength and character to endure and to continue on and hopefully do what I do and keep pressing the ether or universe for better days :) I hope you are having one of those.Â
Hi GregÂ
thank you for your kind words and understanding of this poem. Though I wish you didn’t understand if you get me. May the light bring you warmthÂ

Wow is right Gwen...a stunning work. I totally get this....all those moments taken for granted now feel like a massive insult...nothing is the same or ever can be again. Powerful stuff and I love the drama of it also. It is really good to have you back xx
