A Lowering Day

Sometimes on lowering days I think of you
And watch the clouds create your Slavic face.
True poetry is ageless I am told,

    In a lowering day when a divine heart reaches as high as the Heaven a soft poem

    Your verse resounds -

    Gray sounds lowering days, but the ancient bells sound, evoking memory and hope; the clouds are great image makers, those that weave intricate patterns are makers of wonderful imagery

    -a lovely experience

    Your exquisite poem evokes so many feelings, Sandra. A little sadness, peacefullness, nostalgia... I especially love the last two lines. This one is a 10 for sure.

    Have a wonderful day.
    Ron

    Here the reader is able to feel the mute yet eloquent sadness filled in between the lines...pricks one’s inside yet creates no pain...gives the soothing feel of a thorn inside being sweetly removed...and the last two lines...just sweeping the reader mind, Sandra...beautiful and great is yours this write...10

    A powerful and beautiful poem.
    what is more beautiful in sadness
    than the fraility of humans,
    especially poet humans.

    The rare gifted music I hear from most of your poems and the true poet never gets old as same as the limitless sky?

    A poem that shows the natural downfall of time but still with a little hope for an ageless poet in its essence. The true poets with their limitless thoughts still uprise from the time-bound age and last forever. Even in a lowering day their words remain intact. Very beautiful poem Ms. Sandra..........10/10
    Best Regards........Sameer
