POETIC OCEANS 2

 Art Work by John Law To market to market, but no,where did you go lady? how did you manage so? who was so kind to let you follow? danger any did you meet? you must be wearing the mask,which I vow is your truthful trust,not like careless breathers of the day,young restless astray- O Lady let me carry your load, you bravely hold, you are stronger though older but quite bold, And the boy, grandchild must be,your loving company,hope the parents are alive and well, somewhere around ,but who can tell, all is hell and I don’t know,how far you have to go- or if you have a home or a farm,no harm, a place to be safe, I wonder as I stare,I have no voice, I cannot speak, I am hurt inside,deep you remind me of one,like you I had, I cared not and I lost all I ever had, now in silence I weep. Art Work by Jane Cromwell Touch me not human I will not be fooled again Deceptive lover Future is within, quest unknown, underworld sky, fractured after life
