Mayhem

Violence is both unavoidable and unjustifiable. ~ Albert Camus

Year starts with sadness

Tears no longer flow

No more words available

To weave prayers

For the dead

a rude awakening. lots of angry people in this world. often there are no words - especially ones that have not yet ever been uttered. the taking of life leaves me speechless.

Pete, thank you for reading and sharing. Often words escape me hence I avoid the news like the plague.

It's heartfelt and profound. Beautifully expressed. Sometimes, when we feel weary of something, someone, or even life itself, words fail us, and silence becomes the best response. Even though the years change but the feeling will not change easily.

Anme, thank you for reading and sharing your wisdom. Very much appreciated my friend.

Hmm. Sadness it's haunting. My new year gone sitting alone in my house. Nice poem

[MCS]

Arundass, thank you for reading and sharing. Yes we are all dealing with sadness the result of many awful choices driven by hate and greed. Stay hopeful my friend.

Yes, there has been so much violence lately, the words are all used up...and mouthing them or writing them seems anti-climactic at this point.
Strong piece here, MCS.

You are back... and I could not be more thrilled to read you again, and again!

[MCS]

Thank you, my friend. Its good to be back writing and painting once again. The lockdowns and the chaos of covid just shut me down; left me wondering if I could come back.

I failed to give acknowledgement to your acrylic on canvas. How exquisite of an artist you are!
