pulling currents of life from deep underground
Yes they do. And what is the disappearance of a civilization compared to what you describe here?
ReplyDeleteThe amazing image of collapsing suns and doomed cities contrasted with the tenderness of the first stanza is wonderful.
ReplyDeletei didnt feel the inspiration on this prompt either to be honest. the 2nd stanza is really good though!
ReplyDeletei can close my eyes, and the image of the first stanza comes alive -- slowly. so tender. so sweet.
ReplyDeletewhen i open my eyes, even under the chaos of the second stanza, the first image can not be removed.
how is that possible? Good poem.
I like the six degrees feel of this - beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think this spoke the most to the loving side of me.
