She walks the city streets
falling into the doorway’s shade
then quickly moving out again
her eyes on the ground
dark and somber

She is looking for something to steal
and I fear she will take it from me
this happiness that lights my way most days
she has lost hers
and searches the windows trying to find it
without a reflection

Last night I saw her at a restaurant
moving slowly almost looking at me
and then away
knowing my interest was probing her shadow
where she thought she hid

I wanted to reach out to her
and gave her a smile like a corner table
with the chair pulled out for her
but no...came rushing towards me
as suddenly as the gust of cold wind
from the door that she closed

OH WOW!!! Martie...this is fantastic!
I also saw her lurking just around the corner.
..waiting to take my smiles away.
Heart hugs to you and your muse who has returned!!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Sometimes a gust of cold wind is a gift not appreciated but the shiver passes as do most things. Happiness, however, is always ours to have and to hold no matter what - once the shiver has passed, of course.
Enjoyed the read, Martie.

This means so very much for me, this day,
sweetheart. Thank you so very, very much.

I do understand,
on all of the levels
known of loss.

Excellent writing!

Be careful where your eyes wander. Your eyes see between more lines than most.

Thank you again

Sadness and despair...she sure hangs around in the shadows some days, doesn't she?
I felt her cold breath, am glad you knowhow to say no.
