Left to ponder
like starshine on
muddled water,
the premature frost
and daisies discarded
too soon from
the cradle's vase,

left to ponder

the heart that bloomed
now flatlines,

is there salvation
or point to such
brevity

as goodbyes line
the drying greenery
with spring's crumpled petals,
left to soften the fall.

So good to read you Goddess.
Brevity does not cut short quality...does it?

Your poetry always provides points to ponder.

"the heart that bloomed
now flatlines,"

~ I could feel that! ~ and it aches!

"was there salvation
or point to such
brevity"

~ There is always a "point" to our experiences. We just don't always see it!

You truly are a 'goddessa poetessa'.

"as goodbyes line
the drying greenery
with springcolored petals
as if to soften the fall."

~ Yeppers! A goddessa poetessa!

Sending a loving, compassionate hug your way!

May the autumn bring with it, inner peace and love your way,

Linda

with spring's final petals
as if to soften the fall.'

Hi inkedgoddess,


Left to ponder, of what – life? Meaning, struggling through making sense of puzzles that don’t fit: maybe the answer does not lie in piecing these square cardboards together, and faith with its’ illogical tendencies takes away that frown on face of idealism, and where did that come from?

I think this vodka down my tummy is going to feel good!
