Sealed Cooling down from painting the cracks methodically on my hands and knees. Taking time in thoughts my mind, slips into you, with quiet ease. Each stroke of the brush I touch, desires and seals all the sands of time. Memories flowing filling the cracks savoring the you, on my mind. Two more coats repeating I must those squares, encircle my thoughts. Sponging, absorbing they temper my mood 'til a smile on my lips they have brought. Sunshine is brighter this day, eyes see evolving the new joins the old. Today has replaced the ruins of past in my hands, I create a new mold.

Maureen - A beautiful piece of writing here. I reread it to capture the rhythm of the words - and when that rhythm revealed itself, the whole poem opened up so cleanly. As for your message - what a wonderful mix of melancholy and anticipation! Simply uplifting! |

Kit...well here is what this poem was about...  my husband has promised to do certain things before I give him a divorce ..although he has left this past week..he finally laid the floor tile in my kitchen after 3 years of it sitting in the entranceway... one of those things that he didn't do that caused some verbal disagreements...funny how now he will do them and all the other things..anyway I had to seal all the grout this morning..have two more coats to go..so I used that as my inspiration...silly huh?~~soft smiles Maureen |
