Footsteps leading to the flow, Softness of voice echoing in ear Merging with sound of gulls and wave Sun beating down, a molten brass White sands reflecting merciless glow Wading in water ankle deep, Wondering why only one set of prints Where two used to be until erased The winds and tides erase so well What erases the ache inside? |

Only time... Nicely woven poem. I enjoyed it very much. ~*Freedom Is Not Free*~ (Korean War Memorial) |

I have pondered that question many times, my gentle friend. Oh, I wish I knew. Very emotional write. All writing comes |

What indeed? this has to be my favorite of yours, but then, that probably doesn't surprise you. BTW, still chatting in the West? Haven't been around in a few months... Cor |

Logan this is a LOVELY bittersweet write of longing and loss... the imagery is poetry in motion... It reminded me of a favorite song.... by a poet of lyric and music... I'll share a piece of it...enjoy, as I did your poem  TAKE THIS RAIN Jackson Browne It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three And I can't find my own Among the directions they're all going 'cause I've been running all over creation out of my mind Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time Going crazier every day Watching our love slipping away 'cause you're the only home I've ever wanted And the only light I've known You're going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name And know my love and my desperation were one and the same And where our footprints used to be There'll be nothing but the sea And the tide and the wind and the open sky And the unbroken horizon only you could give love that satisfies the soul... |

Wonderful and expressive, Logan. My belief as to the answer you ponder is that Time will dull the feelings, though probably not erase, but forgiveness and understanding which lead to Wisdom will probably be the medicine most potent -- that with the Serenity to accept what you cannot change and a focus on the positive moments that will always remain with you to outshine the darker ones... -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

Ah Logan, nothing has yet erased the ache inside for me, but I presume all of the above mentioned things could do so. Someday.. This makes me think of a little ritual of writing your troubles in the sand, and letting the tide wash them away. Now if it would just work! Peace Sandra |
