The Shape Lies Hid

The Shape Lies Hid

A Poem by Nick Warwick

Coming down the years behind
Backlit by what has passed
Coming through to only now
A puzzled, heated, furrowed brow
Strapped hard to memory's mast
This moment can but last

Ah - moments form a maelstrom keen
This rising tide of pain
In heaving seas we ride the swell
A lifelong hope prepares the knell
Of truth, that gentle rain
Removes all thought of gain

The ocean known as All Of Time
The droplet lives it holds
The whole comprises final ends
Beginnings, stories, twists and bends
The shape our blindness moulds
Lies hid in chance's folds

Very engaging and very moment by moment as one thinketh so one floweth kind of versification. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Words have always seemed to me a mixed blessing, from which photography has long provided me with an escape. Ironically, and in a subtler way, so has poetry. I think it's the absence of rules. more..
