The photo is by kind permission of Gilly. I’ve gone dark today. Is it any wonder? 🙂 This lovely photo took me to Pakistan.
Grapes of Wrath
And there were the heads
wantonly strewn to draw gasps
tin gods’ grapes of wrath
innocence nipped at the hem
even the clouds bow in shame

Powerfully put, Celestine.
Tish, thanks you so much. 🙂
Powerful words Celestine, glad to see you blogging again, have missed your ingenuity. Have a Merry Christmas!
Much love.
Many Happy Returns, Sandra.
right Celestine … “even the clouds bow down in shame ” …..
“innocence nipped at the hem ” … pity is such a small word 😦
You’re right, Kokila. 🙂
Moderate it Celestine …. mistakenly I put the smiley instead of 😦
No problem my friend.
Ahh Celestine this is heart-breaking but I’m so glad you wrote it.
Thank you Gilly. I just had to.
You have such skill for expressing large and complex pain with careful and lovely words.

Dark and powerful Celestine. Well done.
Kimmy, thank you.
So well said — this horrible murder broke my heart — I cannot understand the mentality behind it.
Neither can I, Jean.
In a world where many feel sorrow, anger and shame, we are reminded God gave us these emotions to vent our feelings when wrong is done. The artistic and creative do this in a beautifully poignant way Celestine, like you, my dear friend!
Penny, your words always have a positive effect on me. Because I read the sincerity in them. Thank you my dearest friend across the oceans. In time, we shall meet face to face, God willing and how great my joy will be. 🙂
Merry Christmas and a lovely New year. 🙂
