Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Eyes elsewhere
with thoughts in tow
Mind mired
in tomorrow
Worry calls
weary walls
of waiting
Knows to the grindstone
his heart must stay
dedicated
Burden bound
by thoughts...

Tempting me
to take you away
to the Tahiti
of your dreamed
someday memory

My elsewhere eyes
take you in tow
wistful in missing
for granted moments
of unknotted brow's
easy smile
Worry calls
weary walls
of waiting
His nose
to the grindstone
where he stays
dedicated
I'm burden bound
by thoughts...

Tempting me
to take us away
to a sunny sometime
today
Where sweet
breezes blow
tensions away
Worries at bay
Affection's easy
and free
Nothing there
but you and me

I understand your empathy and frustration.

How deeply poignant and beautiful, dear Lori. I think many can relate, as we always wish to lighten the burdens of those we love with all of our hearts.

Tahiti seems a good place to recharge the batteries and disperse the worries.

Love,
Margherita
