I don’t talk about her often
Though thoughts of her still
Find their way across scorched fields of time
And bring a bloom of wild flower
To the charcoal dusted days.

She was older
And gentle in ways that touched children
With smiles
Brought animals to her door
Where handouts were only a beginning
Of adoption.

She took me in like one of those strays,
Bandaging cut nights with kisses
Soothing bruised insights with
The oasis of her skin laid on mine
As drinking of her generosity
I grew smoothly sated

I am too craggy and rough spined
For someone so tender to try and walk
Barefoot across my life
Without the thorns and shards leaving
Them scarred

but,
She always smiled
       Wishing me more than the best.
            
The days numbered themselves
And now number her gone so

I don’t speak of her often
For the echoes when I do
   Can’t deafen the voice inside
      Calling me cruel and crude
         To bleed such a heart as

            Hers.

(sigh) It is so hard to think of someone a different way tat you used to love, then everything becomes distorted and you wouldn't want to changea detail for the lithograph as a souvenir to yourself! (big hugggssssss) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I don't talk about her often
Though thoughts of her still
Find their way across scorched fields of time
And bring a bloom of wild flower
To the charcoal dusted days.


She was older
And gentle in ways that touched children
With smiles
===============================

She took me in like one of those strays,
Bandaging cut nights with kisses
Soothing bruised insights with
The oasis of her skin laid on mine

As drinking of her generosity
I grew smoothly sated

I am too craggy and rough spined
For someone so tender to try and walk
Barefoot across my life
Without the thorns and shards leaving
Them scarred


but,
She always smiled
       Wishing me more than the best.
            
The days numbered themselves
And now number her gone

===================================
oh my ... oh my ... oh mothy my ...

this is pure poetry in motion...
momentos and memories turned into inspiration.

Though thoughts of her still
Find their way across scorched fields of time
And bring a bloom of wild flower
To the charcoal dusted days.

~~

The days numbered themselves
And now number her gone so



those lines are poetically brilliant.

Your many muses are a lovely thing to watch take flight poet sir....
