Pink words...

I love thinking that some words are coloured! Comforting words...encouraging words...gentle words...are always PINK words! Challenging words...words that make me sit up and take notice - they're always BLUE words in my little...my strange little mind! Relaxing words...quiet words...well of course they're GREEN! I have to apologise if I'm confusing people with colourful words...but it makes sense to me!

....
here's a poem I put on paper a few months back...based on an original poem written by a good friend called Book of Exile - I loved the title and decided to write some chapter of my own....



Book of Exile…continued


a reading from the book of exile
chapter fifteen

a distant land beckons

no needle in the compass
silently we climb to risk it all

to fall


a reading from the book of exile
chapter sixteen

our cell of solitude …. deep within
suffocation instead of sanctuary

the silence screams


a reading from the book of exile
chapter eighteen

we want to skip this chapter
but tears bookmark the page
freeze the scene
scream
turn the ragged pages
to find our place again
the story continues…


a reading from the book of exile
chapter seventeen

the landscapes changes
pink words are spoken by gentle voices

cleansing

centering


one holds the needle
one pulls the thread
one works the stitches
to patch the garment
….no longer dead


a reading from the book of exile
chapter eighteen

the leaves are still
wings of angels rustle
and the
darkness is filled
with birdsong


a reading from the book of exile
chapter nineteen

hope is born again
