You come softly, I don't notice
until it's too late
and there you are
in my mind again
in my heart
You circle me like the sun
round and round
and in a burst of thunder
I am under
again
Is this the last fall?
The one that tumbles me
down the rabbit hole
and into a whole new world
that doesn't exist with you?
If I drink up these last drops
of our time together
Maybe I will see the glass
as empty as it is
and my mind and heart will follow

ReplyDeleteThank you, Caroline, it's good to see you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and the picture choice is perfect! You should consider compiling some of these writings paired with your photos in print.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melissa... and although I mostly post my own pics, I can't take credit for that one... I found it on the internet.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely worded, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture, I agree.
To empty one's mind is a good practice.
Someone said that's what makes perfect.
And now I can't get that out of my head,
because something is tugging at my heart.
one of the most difficult things to do, and each of us must find our own way of doing it....
ReplyDeleteGood morning Barbara....
ReplyDeleteA good requiem always lets us polish our way out the front door instead of sneakin' out the back....eh?
Delightful. What else can I say?
ReplyDeleteLove the choice of photo as well.
thank you all for your comments
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, I always love your beautiful poem and picture shared!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! It's a miracle picture!
Your words gave me goosebumps..exquisite x
ReplyDeleteVery nice text, it reminds me to a couple of birds doing their mating dance, well we are the same as them when it comes to the basic stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut we are not the same regarding forger, that is sad, because is so hard for us to let go and relax.
