The View

At a breathtaking height I claimed a space

silence and I sat for the long embrace

And there I waited, for a view to answer

The beauty of it held me prisoner

A single bird inside, flew south

My blood poured from her mouth

For the places in my heart that no longer feel

An introduction stood still

The beautiful view grew cold as steel that burns

Frozen places in my heart, beg return

Extend your wings in my sight

I need to know you in flight

So I too may fly

This writing is deep on many levels. Honestly speaking I could not quite connect to the theme. But again, poetry is not about the reader, it is about the writer to express. This piece is very intriguing...I loved reading it.

Thank you. This piece is about death. I have faced the worst pain of my life the death of a child. My Poem titled Death was my first ability to write about Natalie. As I lived on without her the next piece I wrote was You and Me for my son who has not come out of a depressed state since she died. Th View is about the stage of grief I am in now. Life continues and I still miss her everyday but now I am able to look out and see the beauty she left behind, my grandchildren. I sit and watch them and talk to her with out wanting to die too. I know that is quite the explanation. I just felt compelled to explain my view.
