There`s something wrong with her
A certain sadness, lingers in the air
Pronounces her passing,
as clouds conceal the warming rays.
Lifelong burdens, never truly gone,
The grimace in her sometimes smile
reveals the weight of destiny.
People question her activity
the glee she sees in camera`s lens
captured one by one
and every day a symphony.
Yet lying down at night, alone
awaiting Somnus` divine repose
She cannot help but think of things,
denying life its happiness.
The nights are endless, yet
an inkling, a spark is kindled
from the beauty
a lens allowed her.
In reverie, she thinks
of butterflies and flowers
of children`s smiles
of moonlit nights
and stars divine.
Awakened with a start,
a smile upon her lips,
she stretches like a kitten
her thoughts in happiness.
Perhaps the camera
brings focus to her life
What is gone is done
and Art is happiness.

You've said so much in this poem, covered depth and all of life. My favorite words in this poem are " What is gone and done and Art is happiness."

Ahhh, the story of my life. A good meditation. Thank you.
Amen!!!! The most creative minds are the tortured ones... For many, art is their savior.
Have you posted this before? Somehow I think I have read it earlier. Beautiful, I love it.
Ooo, I like this. "...She cannot help but think of things,
denying life its happiness...." Very nice!
Is art happiness? I wonder. Maybe it's just the process. In any case ~ beautiful. :)

I love it, at first I felt a loneliness and then I discovered a beauty in it that I even seemed to find in my own life. I love it!
