the painting is missing a track

the painting is missing a track

 

 

 

slow thaw

muddy memories

dance on the greening blades

 

sharp edges of winter still

haunting my landscape

i lie bleeding on a naive lawn of intent

 

tomorrow's expectations

still frozen as the brush dances

across canvas

 

the heart warms on its own accord

not the one that plays "Happy Together"

within my groove.

Despite the cold, the tattered memories, you still offer
the expectation of redemption. It might not come as
soon as we wish, but it will come. Nicely done.

Take care - Dave

I felt those frozen expectations and I am reminded how quickly the climate can change for the better. Sad poem Jacob.

The forlorn kernel in the centre of this is surely sad. But as always allegory is king and you discover so many ways to express feelings in a masterful fashion Jacob.
