war and peace, loss so much loss

Waterless Rain

He steps through a sheer shimmering curtain
Aspace void of life
A stage is set for tragedy
Dark yet luminous
Emotions spent before all that is
All that was
Ill to compromise
These our ever changing times
A clock somewhere ticks
A cathedral bell chimes
Then an explosion
Doves and tears colide
All that one asks
Is why

Your poem evoked potent imagery. I did not understand why you misspelled sheer and shimmering. Typo?

typo and thanks for the comment

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
