is she alive or not
I've looked everywhere
and not found her
each evening as sunset grows fainter
I grieve placidly
if I was a praying man
she would be in them daily
I don't sleep so well
thinking of my verses
getting up to write them down
ahhh . . . no one
was more treasured
and no one made me suffer more
not even the one who embraced me
and left

sounds all-too-familiar ...
(been there too many times) ...

'Life' is strange ... and random.

'Love' is elusive and ultimately undefinable.

I suppose love would not be so significant if it didn't have its sister shadow beside it. The darker without, the brighter burned within.

I suppose we all have had it touch us, Gale. Thanks for your comments.

That is pretty much how it is, isn't it Lori. A good way of putting it.
