~*~ Carry on down the marsh through streaming lakes where water pools in ponds. Leaving your reflection calm in the wake glassed over in the silence. Ripples in the mirror pouring rain in cold pockets dripping tears off my eyelashes. Look for me or leave me alone face down in tall grass. Turning away from the sky to bury my heart so my sorrow doesn't show. As the snow melts away running down a ravine catching up with the spring. I'll miss those long summer days down by the sea when I planned my vacation around you. Like a favorite song caught up in the wind I'll carry on without you. ~The End~ |

you have such a naturalistic way of writing good poetry. Loved that last stanza: "Like a favorite song caught up in the wind I'll carry on without you." so thought provoking and so well defined |

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

There’s all of these marshes around here, in protected wildlife lands, that I like to go to instead of my daily walk down by the canal. And although, I haven’t been out there all winter long, your story, brought some vivid imagery back to mind. “Look for me or leave me alone face down in tall grass. Turning away from the sky to bury my heart so my sorrow doesn't show.” That, unfortunately is something I can relate, all too well with.. As well as, favorite songs, caught up in the wind Now as far as, carrying on goes... Well... that’s one, I’m still working on... You hang in there, okay Bluesy? Long summer days, down by the sea can’t be too far off... In fact... I think they were made, just for you... |

"The End" Sounds like it was time for that. Spring is coming and, along with time, will bring healing. ~K~ |

Look for me or leave me alone face down in tall grass. Turning away from the sky to bury my heart so my sorrow doesn't show. Your pen pours such beauty... *S* And I'm going to show my age (like it doesn't show whether I allow or not! LOL)... for your title reminds me of an old CSNY song... "Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all." May it come soon. *S* |
