I always came back to the dew on the grass
I have no idea of theÂ
Meaning by the words
The mouth has uttered.
In silence the world has
Long contemplated art
As a form of dying.
I have expressed it
Exceptionally well.
I was a stone, once.
Twice I counted myselfÂ
As the sky, imaginingÂ
I was Jesus.
If life went to fast
I took the footpath.
For me, though, I alwaysÂ
Came back to the dew on
The grass.
Lately I've learned not toÂ
Frighten. ConcerningÂ
Myself with itemsÂ
Like photographs.
I think of the day's hell
Passes us by
As a train on the railroad.
It's too easy to talk about sunÂ
One day the dew on the
Grass will worry me lessÂ
That the Earth open upÂ
And swallow meÂ
All in good fun.
Mind numb to the coldÂ
The frost so unloads.
May the soul of the EarthÂ
Prove the gold it is worth.

Oh my... This is absolutely gorgeous I see your soul in this dear Rory. You've been on a roll with your poetry and this is just magnificent. You are right, it's easy to speak of the sun, you do light and dark incredibly well. Kudos. 🌹 Love your narration in this, it's got everything from imagery to reflections and emotion. 🌹Â
I broke my writing hand, now it's in a cast.
You know they say you use the opposite side of your brain if using the adjacent hand?
Maybe there's something to it.

Oh Rory, so sorry about your hand but yes positively brilliant use of your other. 👌 🌹
For me this was fabulously dark in its wording and the tone of your voice. I'm.utterly depressed having read it and listened to it and I thank you enormously ...I love dark x
I'm pretty happy with this one. Ironic isn't it
