a moment of truth

A moment of truth

-------------------

Disappointment flies amid the eternal sky

Great as it might be it can’t surpass one dusk.

She climbs up a steeple, chases a gust of wind

That has many more profound sorrows to convey.

An open sunset on the cornice of a roof,

A kite’s broadminded flight to be seen from terrace

Pieces of broken peace rest pulsing on the floor.

Threads of thoughts’ ethers uneasy with violence

Whining in some corner. Before you jump to a

Conclusion, his hands stopped at your shoulders. Water

Flows down a body you have discarded simply.

 

Of course, a thing that is burnt does not become untrue.

This really is food for thought. Slowly but surely we get the picture of what happened. This really is a pundit poem! I like the use of comparisons (abstract terms which refer to the utter realism of the situation).
Very well done, I love it ...
You don't choose the easy way out and ... succeed!

And I agree with the previous reviews stating: "Pieces of broken peace rest pulsing on the floor"
Very powerful indeed, for it says it all in a nutshell!

"Pieces of broken peace rest pulsing on the floor": wow, very powerful line. "Before you jump to a

Conclusion..." we are all guilty of jumping to conclusions, aren't we?
