I flush the feelings that seem to overwhelm the light of each day, remembering each touch that seems years away, fragments planted and tucked into the past, waiting to break the silence of loneliness that dresses me in shadows. There is a you that tames the ache that cuts into the mind and takes me where I wish to be, even if temporary. I go there for familiarity because failing alters my every move and if only I can hold onto something, maybe what lies beneath, will surface once again. I recall childlike laughter, swinging in the park-like surroundings, the air feeling me and the unbalanced cross of a stream and I wish for the knowledge I have today to have been back when. To have shared the uneven happiness, the ups and downs of life's processes in the arms of another who could whisper caring thoughts and tell me without regret that everything will make sense one day. Lack of sleep possesses me, scented waters call and the unchangeable remains. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

"waiting to break the silence of loneliness that dresses me in shadows." Your poem drew me in, but this verse is its center, and, it frames the picture you have painted here. Such a compelling read. JL |
