These days

suddenly a sad poem ... :)

 

Momentary fragile happiness …

        Never seems to touch me nowadays

Rather, dark concrete sadness gives me company

         Like a long trusted friend ….

 

Material pleasures pass by

          Like a brand new reconditioned car

 I let them go carelessly

        Like a dusty waft of livid summer …

 

Often green fields, rhododendrons 

              A rolling river ...

       A lonely nightingale’s chime in darkness

                                    Whispers silently

                                                       Of amity & solidarity!

This was sooo nice to read on the dark and raining morning.
As always...nicely done.

Nice work O :) It was gloomy and sad, yet that seems to be a large creative force behind many writers. Such a moody bunch, those writer types. lol

I enjoyed the second stanza the most. So true... true happiness is not exterior.

Well written as always my friend!

Although sad, was quite a pleasure to read. Nicely penned, was a quality all your own. You work is very inspirational, to me, thank you for writing this.
