Its penance,
Of a selfish self.
Life or Death,
Which is more painful?
Its arduous,
The bonds.
Can it survive,
Without breaking you?
Its over,
The epoch.
The remnants -
Would it remain; like ash afloat in a river?
Of a selfish self.
Life or Death,

"like ash afloat in a river"...truly beautiful, poignant words. A spectacular piece of poetry.
ashes afloat in the river is a powerful visual...can it survive without breaking you...hmm...it leaves me to wonder exactly what 'it' is...
Brian@ thanks for dropping in. I had nothing else in mind ~ at times, life is like covenants!
It's beautiful...................
I am familiar with ashes that linger and linger and linger....
All IS and IS - all that was IS = Inspired Spirit - ashes indeed, the alchemic - and as the Phoenix shall arise anew, for we are to BE = Birth Eternal...
'Life or death, which is more painful?' a good question.
Solicitous as always….
Wondering what all this means....But just a feeling, The penance of life, will bring fulfilling death, if you can survive, without breaking the bonds…and yes, the remnants, would always remain, somewhere…
silent sober deep running poetry..i loved it :)
p.s: thanks for dropping by my blog! :)
HI TAMARIND-
First, I love your name. :-) I really enjoy your poetry and blended images to enhance your wonderful - creative style. I look forward to us getting to know one another more.
Love to you

peace and hope.....
either way, it lingers; a stench in the air, uplifting to some and unfamiliar to most...
finally a follower!!! :)
To liberate SELF from the bonds that confine and diminish is to be in your own TRUTH - there is no other quest ... Yours is the knowing... Much love, Rose Marie
