Don't Look (Revised)

[nibbed]

Good read, nibbed. Well done on the revision.

Hi, Solstice

Thank you kindly for responding to my poem. I was trying to weave together certain circumstance through metaphor using the parts of a clock, a clock symbolic of time, all concerning an intense moment in my faith. I thought of staves as having a hold of God, as the handles involved in the transport of the ark of the covenant. I know the poem is very abstract, as were my thoughts when I wrote it. It is interesting the interpretations you shared and I thank you very much for considering my poem and sharing your kind thoughts.

Nibbed,

Perhaps look into stave churches. A 900 year old architecture of places of worship. It may not be an additional image in the poem (too much can clutter?), but interesting nonetheless. 

Solstice

Thank you kindly for the suggestion, I had no idea such churches existed. They look amazing, but very dark and gothic, almost frightening, in a way. Not friendly and welcoming like our brighter churches of today. I suppose seeing one might inspire tales of gypsies and runaway fantasies. Have a blessed day, Solstice.
