On Being an ArtistThe rose window fractured
by a fierce wind
shards on the grass
till he came along
collected the fragments
crafted a kaleidoscope
Fractured
by the tornado of life
for two years I lay on the rug
my thoughts scattered
Now I must turn my mind around
create beauty from the ruins

"Now I must turn my mind around

such beauty in those words.
thank you.
How well I understand those words! They ring so true for me as well.
Love Tess' Kalidescope.... love your poems.... yesterday's was also great. Your poems are so vivid in their imagery - and so powerful....
My "fabric" is enroute to add to your "Hanging Gardens"!
Love to you and Bibs,

Glad you are making so many poems again.
This one is beautiful and suits the picture.
Have a nice weekend♥
Powerful words; Difficult path to happier ending. Well done.
I like how in the poem you are seizing the shards of a broken past and refashioning them into a new vision of the present. I love that concept of creating beauty from the ruins!
Another powerful piece Suki.
It's nice when we turn ruins into beauty. We always have that power even though at times all seems so lost.
The photo looks like kiwi and strawberries!
I read strength and purpose isn this Suki. Very good.
