Runoff
All the tales are the same tale
all the jokes the same joke,
every distant woman
the one woman, every
shadow man the
one man,until
you choose
to see.

The sudden flash,the implacable rain
leave the heart dripping
the mind blinded
the soul scrying;
joy or misery,
both runoff
from the
same
storm.

I absolutely adore this. Unbelievable in just 55 words!
ReplyDeleteWhew... you rose up to the challenge very well.
ReplyDeleteHappy day~
Always the heavy, eh, Hedge. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE Philosophical 55's Joy...
ReplyDeleteThis one should be Wood-Burned on an oak plate and sold at Hallmark Stores!
Fantastic job.
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
This pulled me right down the page.

@MZ Thanks--it made my head hurt.
ReplyDelete@Heaven Thanks for reading.
@MM Always. I need your trademark twist at the end to lighten it up.
@G-man: I'm crackin up. How bout you just sit on the copy machine and paste it to that wood plate instead? Thanks sir, and may your weekend be the same.
nice...the second stanza clinches it for me...set up nicely by the first...joy or misery, how true...

ReplyDeleteCan't you ever just toss something out there? Must you always be such an ace? It's annoying, er, I meant to say, it's amazing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo much truth and depth in 55. Joy or misery, one is often just around the corner from another...
ReplyDeleteLove that the shape of each verse mirrors the image.
"until
ReplyDeleteyou choose
to see."
so true! love this~ amazing 55!

What a beautiful image...and the way you replicated the runoff in your form is fantastic. "the soul scyring" - that line is just phnom, must say.
ReplyDeleteAlways amazed at what you do in 55 ~
