Untitled

Rate: 21 Flag


A picture
painted with all the colours of imagination
hangs in the gallery of my mind
A beautiful image
and I can't help but gaze upon it with delight 

I suspect it will hang there forever more

A sound
playing over and over again
in my ear
A voice --
your voice
unique and soothing
but becoming almost inaudible now
I try hard to remember it
and I ache to hear it

But I fear I may never hear it again

A wish
uttered countless times
rests now upon my lips
Yes, it rests
but only for a while --

I will utter it again

You aren't done with it, is that it? Every woman can identify. Beautiful and stirring, Kate. Are the floods/rain/hurricane over with? You'd think we lived in the middle of a rain forest for all the world news we get!

"Untitled" is the perfect title for this Kate. I relate to it too well - or understand you through it. Beautifully expressed my dear friend. Bittersweet and wistful.

Fusun: I thought for a little while but a title just wouldn't come to mind and so once I wrote 'Untitled' ... it just seemed perfect to me. And boy am I so glad to see you agree too! Thank you for telling me.

Marty's Husband: Some images, hopes and dreams I suspect will stay with us forever. At least I hope so! ; )

anna1liese: Inside these words ...here with me ... brings comfort and warmth, my friend. Thank you.

Very nice. I love the opening lines:
"A picture

I like the single sentences punctuating and glowing with power...lovely, Kate. I'm in and out so infrequently I've missed so much...glad I caught this one! R

Picture-perfect portrayal of loss and hanging on. I hope this is just an observation or a memory of a time, and not something you're going through now.

Fay: That makes me smile ... I quite like them too! Thank you.

A Persistent Muse: I am very touched that you came by to read mine! Thank you.

Matt: It is always good to see you here. Thank you!

sophieh: You've summed it up nicely! But there is always hope. Thank you so much for reading!

Alysa: Memories, dreams and hopes ... past, present and future. Thank you, friend, for reading and for reaching out. I appreciate you for both.

A sweet picture it is..and you quite the artist!

JD: I'm so sorry I missed your comment here ... but I've found it now. : ) I've never considered myself an artist ... I took art class for a while when I was young but I was never very good! Painting pictures with words I am hoping proves a little more successful!

I feel this one deeply! Yes, "Untitled" fits to a T.

pastvoices: I am so sorry to not have seen your comment here sooner. I've kept pondering over a title for this but can never come up with one. It seems that it is destined to remain untitled. It also seems my friends here agree that it should.
