untangling

[CdnReader]

untangling

within day's white-light brilliance
lie ribbons of hope and faith
entangled in the sweet misery
that is life

fallen in sinuous curves
there to be followed
into the beauty of tomorrow

flights of bumblebees
are as nothing
to this

i like the imagery you used, esp in the first stanza. your title is really good too, how it sums up the poem yet adds more meaning to it simultaneously. you did a really good job with this poem. keep writing!

Your poem is really touchingly startling, particularly your use of images is fascinating.

Thank you, GoofyFlamingo and Blaze. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. :)

This is lovely.

It reminds me of e.e. cumming's last lines of poem 34 that I always called,(if i love You):

if we love each (shyly)
other, what clouds do or Silently
Flowers resembles beauty
less than our breathing

Beautiful poem. :)

Verse one was most exquisite, my favorite part of this entry. :thumbs_up

It's good to see you back again CdnReader. This is really a lovely poem.

Thanks very much, Kiz and Dibyendra.

Fire, I'm flattered that my simple words have reminded you of such a beautiful passage. I'm not as well-read in the major poets as everyone else here seems to be, so I always appreciate the recommendations. I'm taking nominations for a poetry library. ;)
