Malaise

Posted on Jul 31st, 2008 by elisa : Mirror elisa
malaise
discontent
birds unfed
feasting table
unladen
flowing on the lawn
that grows
up through our grief
that spills
and trickles down
feeding roots
and thoughts
as yet
unseen
flowers of spring
petals plucked clean
again to float
off on the wind
of desire and need

Hi Elisa,  like your poem…know well that feeling of malaise and discontent and grief.  You are a mirror, you know.  I wrote a poem about feasting, as well, a couple weeks ago and posted it last night.  Like the image of grief spilling and trickling down, feeding roots……and the last part about desire and need…..that felt raw, and very real….
