Still by Susan Deborah King is a poignant poem that explores themes of mortality, nature, and personal reflection. Beginning with a doctors reassurance about back pain, it transitions to a journey home, observing the winter sky and its striking clouds. The poem subtly shifts from personal health concerns to a broader appreciation of natures beauty, ending with a contemplative line about lifes brevity. King, an accomplished poet and teacher, draws inspiration from her surroundings to create a powerful and thought-provoking piece.
