 there some things I cannot explain like the wind whistling low into my heart from the open window at night I try to slumber the wind disturbs my near sleep quiet then, of course there is her I fling back the bedcovers naked I lie there allowing the wind to caress me my thoughts understand things like n'er before I pulled the covers up to my chin and send a silent plea don't you understand I could never be in harmony with this world but you were the closest path to it I ever knew She is gone now much too late for anything if she is still alive in the cosmos I hope she hears my plea ©September 23, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (09-29-2014 09:06 AM).] |

This is very poignant, dear Jerry. Those nightly hours of silence bring her back into your thoughts, along the breeze that moves the curtains ... a friendly touch, that surely means she knows your feelings and wishes for you to be in peace. Somewhere, someday, somehow, you will meet again and all that has been will be understood. When we cultivate this hope we feel better. You tug at the heartstrings with this one. Margherita |

I wish I could be as optimistic as your friends, Jerry. I guess they should be right, or it all makes no sense ) It's just because there are so many people, and the world is so confused. |
