This song has been running through my brain since I awoke this morning; and although the song writer may have had another inspiration, all forms of art inspire each of us in different ways. As I scrolled through my images, this one struck me as the way my soul is feeling about life right now.
The world is still so full of beautiful things while Nature continues her struggle to be brilliant and survive our ever increasing brutal assault against her without conscience. Still, there is something decidedly different about life in these times, something...less.
There seems to be less brilliance, less exuberance, less enthusiasm, a lack of vibrance and energy...a lack of color.
Is it my eyes, seeing the world I love through the haze of
disenchantment?
I often feel alone in trying to shine on through the dismal outlook of the
masses..
as they tremble under the watchful gaze of the hungry that wait for the smoke to clear,
eager to feed.
I feel cast out, adrift on a sea of vast hope and woeful reflection..
so empty.
while longing for the days of lilting leaves and dancing dragonflies...
Your vibrance shows in shadow and light,
But my heart knows your true colors.
Life, continual as it is, carries on..
while it weeps for what may be lost.
and wonders,
“Will there be any more rainbows of promise to comfort the destroyers?”
I love Death Cab for Cutie and I almost saw them in concert once upon a time. This is the spark for my thought droppings today.
