If life was just
for the living...
you would not be here
with me right now.

The mists of time sweep slowly
over my drifting thoughts
as I kneel before faded flowers
and burnt umber leaves,
remnants of Autumn's passing.

You should have seen me
scattering those leaves.
Surely I was a silly sight,
hopping gleefully
as if I had never romped
in a Fall breeze.

Your brush would have captured the moment
in living colors, boldly, without apology.
You would have seen what others did not;
the essence of me

~Naked~

save for my cloak
of humanity.

interesting 'passing Autumn' write!

I am especially fond of (and so would
Vincent be, I believe!):

"The mists of time sweep slowly
over my drifting thoughts
as I kneel before faded flowers
and burnt umber leaves,
remnants of Autumn's passing...

...Your brush would have captured the moment
in living colors, boldly, without apology.
You would have seen what others did not;
the essence of me...

(beneath the) cloak of humanity(!)"

applause!!

You write with such feeling.
Wonderful read.

How is it that after your heart is ripped out, you feel so much?

This is so... perfect. It feels extraordinarily intimate, and it touches the heart.

This is tender, it makes me feel like I've lost a love.

I read a very intimate page of your mind's journal in a Van Gogh mood, and saw an incredibly inspirational fall day - and it felt darn good.
