Pipe Dreams

breaks a new dawn
after a restless night

a splash of pink sunrise
soon colours my eyes

those blackbirds a singing
are hidden from sight

my thoughts are of childhood
i search through the skies

dear brother your silence
still shatters this heart

i'm sure you are out there
so ask that you please

whisper your presence
take hold of my hand

for a moment of comfort
come softly to me

hi christine
"a splash of pink sunrise
soon colours my eyes"_______ i love those 2 lines particularly. think i'll to have to learn somehow, to be more ethereally descriptive in my poems.

you must've very close to your brother, so your personalities or likes, i assume would be similar. how lucky is that!
my sister & i are like chalk & cheese in personalities. can't say that i really think about my childhood much, coming from a dysfunctional family.

I was very lucky with my siblings and childhood carola. I know how fortunate I was and that other people's childhood may have been different altogether. In those circumstances I can understand entirely where out of sight out of mind is best. Always appreciate your visits. All the best.

Sweet sentiments.
We've all felt this way--you just say it prettier than the rest of us.
Much enjoyed, Chris!

Good Morning Christine,
You have a very interesting stylization in your writings in my estimation. You are not afraid to use words. Cool! This poem seems to be very sad to me but I like it and the language usage. I hope you and your family are holding up and staying strong through this Covid mess. Have a wonderful day. Take care. Earl
