A feather And A Painting.
Rosie Ann parkes 1998 (Bristol)
A Feather And A Painting.
Inside the walls I cried to see
A feather, a painting,
A sign I'll be free.
Groundingly still, yet I frantically paced,
Aimlessly hoping,
That dreams become faced.
The sounds of the ceilings captured my ears,
The silence is deadly,
But there's more to fear.
Beneath my feet the floor is shrinking,
I'm alone and I'm lost,
Will I forever be thinking?
Inside the walls I cried to see,
A feather, a painting,
I'll never be free.
About this poem
This is a poem inspired by the times of darkness and hopelessness. Whilst I enjoy writing happy and spiritual poetry, I think it is important to explore the depths of intensity our minds can reach.
