Contemplation


In the marble orchard
of stark stillness
we remain separated in
time.

You bask in the sun
while I grieve in
the chill of the
shade.




Written for an exercise on S & Co(Ryze)

I'm not sure if this alludes to a life partner, but I immediately feel your loneliness. When a loved one reacts to a given situation in a different manner, it is so hard not to feel cold in the shade.

Hopefully, you will meet again somewhere at the line where light meets dark.

You chose the ideal image for such a poem. I like the contrast you establish of the 2 mental states: this reads very well!

In the marble orchard
of stark stillness
we remain separated in
time.

You bask in the sun
while I grieve in
the chill of the
shade

with emotions being
shuttled in winds.

some how missed this exercise in ryze.
