circling



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

  5. Very nicely worded, Barbara!
    Beautiful 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.

    A good requiem always lets us polish our way out the front door instead of sneakin' out the back....eh?

  12. Very 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.
    But we are not the same regarding forger, that is sad, because is so hard for us to let go and relax.
