It comes with a rush
the feeling I have been here before -
done this before
and the memories in flood
wash away my dreams
like so much bilge
caught the backwater
of remember.
My head hurts with the speed
of the flow;
a torrent of emotions
all cascading in
as if the waterfall of life
has finally
caught up
and tipped me once more
over the edge
into the stream.
Shaking with anxiety
and trembling
I drip bitter salted tears
into the wound of the past
not yet healed
and remember-
I look closely at gap between then and now,
see it is not the same
and yet
and yet -
the memory comes with a rush.


Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Awesome write my friend, sometimes its scary to feel the familiar emotions that your words conjure up!

It takes more than time stretching between then and now to remove power from those memories. Excellent write, my friend. *S*

Sounds like a rough one, I don't like that feeling that I've got no control. Scary. But well done.

Cascade

Cascading
Flowing
A waterfall
Sparkling
Shedding drops
A rainbow of
Colour
Splishing
Splashing

Tinkling
Musical
A sound
Like laughter
Babbling
Calling
As it falls
In a stream
Of delight

Rain, soft
As cobwebs
Touching the
Ground in a
Benediction
A blessing
A delight

Water
That breath
Of life
That drink
That none
May live
Without

Much like
Your words
Which fall on
My soul
Breathing life
Into my heart

You are the water
That brings life
To this page
You are
The blessing
That brings joy
To these eyes

Marsha

Beloved one I wouldn't necessary say it was a worthy response but it is a response.

Love you always
and forever
Slushy



Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold
