A new tear parted last night from an ocean of eternity...................
A new tear parted last night from an ocean of eternity Where it had once laid shivering and sweet Beginning to comprehend those words of comfort From a spirit that has awakened within Every eye you meet
Looking up for peace of mind outside of black and white Thoughts hold a subtle sweetness all around This new tear stares into the breath of expectation Seeing glory in beautiful shades of gray Now wonderfully profound
An old tear reveals lips that speak to us of retribution Losing sight of what is right and wrong Telling stories that have no place at all to go Except dark hills carried in our souls For way too long
A new tear parted last night from an ocean of eternity Defining hope in feelings now recognized In all those words of comfort proceeding forth From the spirit awakening within These smiling eyes
An old friend of mine once did a magnificent landscape in charcoal and pencil; it looked like the light just before sunrise over the meadow and trees...when I read your line, "glory in beautiful shades of gray/Now wonderfully profound", it brought back the memory of my friend, and my wonder in watching him create a masterful work. Just as you have done here. *bows to the artist*
I really liked reading this. I really like the magical kind of theme you always have going on. I especially liked the words:
"A new tear parted last night from an ocean of eternity
Where it had once laid shivering and sweet"
an amazingly portrayed and written poem :)
Pensive painting. It goes very well with the pensive feel of the poem. Sometimes I wonder where you get your inspiration, Neva. Life? Death? Tears? Glory? Nature?
I'd love to know. :)
Very thoughtful and very...trembling. Unique word for it, but that's what I thought when I imagined the tears throughout this poem.
