One Single Impression #152 ~ Quagmire

Iced minds
Staring at a
Murky mist of
Shameful questions
Our bridge
Our icon
So far away
Between us a white
Blank
Quagmire

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

That's very pretty!
Very Nice Gemma, sometimes I feel as if the bridge I need is too far to reach. A wonderful week is wished for you.
beautiful.
love your take.
Beautiful as always, Gemma, you do say it all so well! Thank you for your response to my question re: my blog, I haven't had anyone else tell me about that particular problem, but I'm not surprised I guess when we all have a good bit of information on our blogs in addition to the regular post. Hope you have a great week!

Quite an apt analogy which goes so well with your photo.
Really enjoyed the beauty that you see in the picture. Well done Gemma
Alas, the quagmire in the mind
... and little chance of closure!
Ahh...quagmires...nothing to sneeze at, for sure!
Have a great week. Cheers!
I got a chill down my spine when I read it. Gave me the feeling that they had passed on and were having this conversation. Very deep, loved it.
Surely this is the confusion that we all face in attempting to communicate with one another....
Great tragedy! I hope they will be able to find reconciliation on that bridge. Well done.
VERY MUDDY Quagmire- Thanks!
Love the honesty in this - it's a wonderful read!
And here I thought you'd link it with the floods in Oz...this is much more profound and beautiful though.
Wow, you're a talented word whittler! Thanks for sharing! ;)
