The Scorching Sky

The Scorching Sky

The sun it’s rays, they scorch the skin

Warming through winter's deep blue.

Intense heat, felt even within

Perspiration beads drip true.

The melting touch lightly kisses,

Burning light of pure wonder.

Away from the dark abyss is

A closeness to much thunder.

Illuminate the bolting sky,

With forks of mightiest wrath.

Saturation of earthly dry

Following down the present path

Warming through winter's deep blue

...Following down the present path

There's a world; a life, perhaps: in transition here. This poem exists at the ecotone; that clash between one ecosystem and another: and the imagery, in all its wonderful juxtapositions and contradictions reflects that.

There is turmoil and conflict...but the seeds of hope are already long established in the opening lines...and in "The sun it's rays..."

I particularly adore the contradictory imagery ... and...

Illuminate the bolting sky

...frankly, is a masterstroke image!! It makes no real, literal sense...but I just KNOW what you mean...I can see it!...and it's beautiful!!!

Marvellous!!!

My Dear Lorna,

The sunlit ceiling ensconces us

Brings warmth to our past chill

A darkened sky now illuminates

With a bold and thunderous thrill

Hugs, Peace and Love,

Dear Larry

That bold and thunderous thrill

Rumbles at the highest peak

Higher than the highest hill

Till sunshine from clouds does leak

Love and hugs to you and yours

Lorna, terrific poetry, and I must say that I had to step away from the 'entity' and see if it followed me, and sure enough it did, the poem makes me feel good, like the sun makes me feel good in summer on that perfect afternoon and makes me appreciate the moment, knowing somehow that it will stay stored in my memory for times and times and the dividing of times; a long time....you are an interesting poet who captures moments and articulates them so very well, and I picked the last line as a pull quote, just because of that invitation to the positive 'present tense feeling'; I like that a lot; always there when you need it most, very cool....I really appreciate your poetic perspective and great talent, Lorna... cheers poet

Hi Christopher,..Yes your interpretation is very indepth and on point!!...It's about looking at a more optimistic future...the whole piece is a contrast of ups and downs, dark and light......  I am a taken aback by your comments and I am so pleased you like my poetry!! I enjoy yours very much too.

Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate them

Lorna xx
