Yesterday slips like sand through fingers
bleeding onto the ground
around my feet and I try to sink my toes
deeper into the warmth of it
while trying to hold on
to each solitary grain
for just a few seconds longer
so that I might feel

the slipping memory, once more..

    oh for just once more

before it melds into
the sands of time
to be washed away

on some moonlit tide
and I shall then be left,

stranded

naked in my essence,
with nothing but the chill

left behind

to remain.

"In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things."
-Barbara Ann Kipfer

My gawd, girl, can you ever write poetry!!!

~ and you appear to do it effortlessly! It flows, its gentle ~ it's timeless!

Love to you, this late summer's day,
