Graffiti Poetry: Soul Decanted

dVerse

18  comments

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia as a caregiver your own life gets turned inside out as well. In fact probably even more as the caregiver. But really who knows? All of us are having our own experiences through our personal realities. Who are any of us to say what's real or not real in any given moment for anyone else. 

For me poetry and music have been consistent ways to examine emotions and personal growth the experience gifts me. Recently, I have found myself, once again, pulling at the threads my emotions through poetry. Some how by placing one word next to another I am able to find peace with grief. But even more powerful, I have been able to unravel the gift of the journey. 

Here are two of my most recent poems:

a cardinal rests
it’s frozen reflection
~ encapsulated
your colorful life stilled
in a lake of memories

  • Great blog tagline – and imaginatively presented in your graffiti poem: swirl, sip, spit, repeat – just like wine or whisky tasting.

    • Thank you Kim;
      It is really how I feel about poetry in general. The airing of emotions,swirling them in the light, watching their effects against our glass souls; and how how it is like decanting wine. 🙂
      Thanks for reading!

    • Thank you Claudia;

      It Soul Decanted is my “tag”-line last night’s prompt was perfect to let me play with it some. I might even change my header. What do you think? 🙂

    • Thanks Susan I was hopeful for playful deep, as graffiti can be very powerful in few words. It was another fantastic night hanging with the dVerse crowd that is for sure. Thanks for reading.
