sadness

entry picture
Embracing sadness
You tell me
It is in your heart
As much as your soul,
 
Unstitching itself
On boat shaped stones
Underneath the pier
Lost in the sunset
 
Absent-minded like
Placing imaginary notes
Wrote in feelings
Across the wind
 
Changing directions
Within second
Swaying wearily
Back up the hill
 
Singing unwritten songs
On the other side
Of the ridge
In half kindled feelings
 
With no sails
On the horizon
 
No catharsises
In remains of churches.

Unstitching itself
On boat shaped stones
Underneath the pier
Lost in the sunset

These are class words, a poem in itself.

Can I ask you to re-look at a couple of things like

"within second" should this be seconds?
.........and is "wrote in feelings" correct?

Personally I'd lose the picture too!

very well done Andy.

Really enjoyed this Andy, especially this section:

"Singing unwritten songs
On the other side
Of the ridge
In half kindled feelings"

Great!
