The Wilderness / Silence

As a constraint and an adventure I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the poems that I wrote for the "A Poem A Day In April" challenge and respond to each one .  I will take an idea, phrase, word or picture from these poems and create a new perspective. I am looking forward to finding different ways to inspire fresh creativity. I will always leave the original poem on the same page of my blog so you can see if you can work out what I might have been thinking.

So, the first.....     6th Dec

The Wilderness

Busy, loud,  lives distract,

Hide empty spaces,

Where silence batters senses.

Alone,

In that wilderness,

That desert,

Fearful ,

Off balance,

You meet the now.

And the one I wrote in April:

Day 1:  1st April, 1st poem.
My first poem for the challenge " A Poem a Day in April."

 Being Holy Week these few lines formed themselves:

              Silence

Life -dark -red

drips from

gaping wounds,

drips from

Skin-slashed and torn.

Bent ,

unable to keep upright

Yet with peace,

Peace  beyond knowing

He is silent

Looking forward to getting on with the next one.
