[hometext] => Introspective reverie in the midst of nature...
[bodytext] => Melancholy I sit in the serene surroundings of a quiet quadrangle. Wrapped in clouds of contemplation I indulge in introspection. Flanked on both sides, robust oaks witness my reverie. A Georgian building of exquisite design and appointment stands before me, Whilst the gentle ripple of a river laps lazily behind me. A bird almost irreverently flutters by, The beating of its wings causing a percussive interruption. This produces a palpable pause in my muddled musings, But I forgive her for in flight she is beauty and grace personified. Returning to my thoughts I fall into a deep melancholy. I contemplate the Temazepam terrors and Diazepam dreams; The dark times that have currently reigned over me. Encased in a sphere of depression I try to penetrate the wall. Sometimes this simple act appears to be a forbidden future, A nirvana of peace and tranquillity denied by negativity. Looking at the trees I feel they stand in silent judgement. Can they sense my anguish, anxiety – my pain? Would that my life was as ordered as theirs and as impenetrable. Impervious to pain their cycle of life progresses through the decades; No sadness or doubt in their stoic silence, just constant growth. Perhaps unwittingly the oak teaches me a wise lesson: Stand tall and strong, stretch out my roots and grow; Cast off all self-doubt and self-pity and revel in life itself; Not dwell on the trappings of materialism or aiming too high; Just live my life, happy with what I have and not aspire for Utopia.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
