..after David Caspar Friedrich

as i trudge through the winter of my years

the constant snow plagues my soul

my friends the trees mock me

bending to the storms of love

the shadow of the ruins of life

a backdrop to my wanderings

the writings on my staff

the only sanity I feel

the skin of brail

tender in my touch

words fingered and thumbed

to the mind

mannah from the muse

So enchanting that world you speak of in transition of thought and reality.

thanks a lot Miahbell for this nice comment...

I owe this poem to the painting of David Caspar Friedrich since I can almost see myself struggle with the demands of day to day life on the canvas.

The winter scene makes me think of how often poets live a life alone...Drax
