In Your Poetic Mind

~~**~~
{Searching for OZ series, a ramble of heavy heart}

~~**~~
This night


of wind and thick   air

when  remembered by
the touch of your goodbye

I tasted          the rain
long before it became the fall of storm
long before it became the fall of season

this one night:

I wanted my words to cast upon you
soft as the day we let light
linger into early morning

But the rain was frozen

between layers

between us

I whispered

This is what  its like --
         true silence

I’ll     describe it here: {in sketching thought}

it’s     beautiful,  it’s            damaged

the way:

water trembles upon the petals

the way:      
      sounds of water   break

the way:

colors wash        away    


again I whispered: true silence; pressed palms

please

I pray for sleep
that I may awake
to gentle eyes

so winter will not need a reason

to stand alone

and I will not fear the reason

of broken



~~**~~
Life is a balance
of holding on and letting go (KU)

There is only one who captures a scene such as this like you, and it's great reading you.

exceptional, flowing softly yet with great valor...

In the midst of winter,

An invincible summer.

To me, this sounds like you are hurting, but you sure put it down in a beautiful way.
