Empty chair
An empty chair
Alone
Waiting in a wilderness
On the other side of the mountain
Waves of people
Chanting the preach in one voice
Overwhelming the beckoning of freedom
And the empty chair
Staying with hope
Till the wilderness becomes an ocean
Covered by snow-white lotus
A tribute to Xiaobo Liu, a dissident who fought for democracy in the Communist China and died of liver cancer while serving his jail time. An empty was staged at the ceremony when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. © 12 days ago,
Jenny Middleton - Your AN add an extra dimension to the poignancy of your imagery xx- and I like how you create a sense of stillness with the phrasing of your lines - isolating some words then creating a contrast with the 'waves of voices' the final image of the lotus is beautiful and very sad. Lovely share.
