When the world has been reduced to a dark night I will find you-- a taste of ashes floating on air light&dark, earth&sky embrace such beautiful harmony a single petal made for words -- this eternal image of reflection on water tomorrow I will rise early to touch the faint spread of sun, as the river flows through my fingers my dreams of you exist just for me the very depth of edges from these walls that rain, will replace your tears, in language only you remember: under stained glass and woven colors scattered over the floor and through the windows nothing will move but the daffodils folding their stems to die ~~**~~ Life is a balance of holding on and letting go (KU) |

Lauren, you always write of sadness in such a lovely way, and one can feel pain through your words. ![]() |

"my dreams of you exist just for me the very depth of edges from these walls" I love how you think and how you put those thoughts into words. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Powerfully fine, emotive imagery!: finding someone as a “taste of ashes (!)”; “touch(ing) the faint spread of sun”; I am especially fond of: “my dreams of you exist just for me the very depth of edges from these walls”; “stained glass .... woven colors scattered over the floor” AND: “through the windows nothing will move but the daffodils folding their stems to die (!)” “Life”…seems mostly a matter of an on-going and ever-accelerating attrition (that ‘letting go’ part of your ‘page-ending’ quotation) This ‘write’ also seems a (universally impressionistic) “slice of everyperson’s-life dejavu”…making that rather bittersweet ‘been there too’ connection with, I suspect, most(?!) readers… serious and long-sustained applause!! ~ |

You dear poet lady, make me sigh. (That is not easy to do.) Sent it to the Moth Mother, she will love this one. |
