I hang from the sky
invisible to all
holding a manifest
from out there
may you all see light
(I know I can't)
in the smoky morning
sun hides as usual
within the folds of the clouds
"let us flock together, let us all fall,
let us measure the depth of miserable darkness"

Brilliant. A hanging sun and the aspect of invisibility lends a dark contrast, a modern desolation, to the light described.
wow...love you closing lines...measure it we will...manifest...nice...
your last line made me shiver a bit...let us all fall...but measure yes - i get this..
Nice..I like the hanging sun...and closing lines.
Hanging on the sky or in the sky..whichever..you give us a beautiful, thoughtful view..Jae
The cavernous gloom of a high-rising city. I hate skyscrapers too.
Love the imagery of the hanging sun. Let us all fall... is an astonishing beauty of a line.
Another lovely vignette inspired by the photo. I like the contrast between imperfect vision and reality.
A beautiful picture and poem! Hope you don't mind I added your blog to my blog roll...
like your poem very much thank you for sharing
hi again - ;-) lovely
Your play on the spelling of skyscraper is interesting Gautami. This is rather difficult to read, very sad.
the hanging sun invisible, yet hoping we all see the light... even as we might together fall and measure the depths of darknesss...
amazingly eery in the contrast of thoughts.
A lot of depth in a few short lines. Nice point-of-view.
Gorgeous and lush... the quote is exquisite.
Your imagery made me feel like I was there. And made me grateful I don't live in a large city.
Love this!
"let us flock together, let us all fall,
let us measure the depth of miserable darkness"
I'm so glad I live in a small town...
It made me wonder if I was holding a manifest. Very probing poem from my angle. Very good. Read it a few times.
loved it ... beautiful write.
A hanging sun...good concept to blend with manifest...skyscrapers?? brilliant!!
Closing lines for 'flock' were perfect!
love the sky scrapper pic.
very nice
sad isn't it? to have sun but not be able to see it clearly. I like what someone said about modern desolation. it fits with the image and your beautiful poem.
Very lovely images.
This is my first time visiting your site. Beautiful imagery here. I will return to see more of what you have.
different original view!
Came across to me as both a end and a beginning ...
Sucha lovely piece.
Such an interesting and beautiful concept.
The freshness of your written word always takes my breath away
