What Isn't There |

What Isn't There I watch for, but no longer expect deep inside knowing what isn't there. It will seep from me until I am an empty shell again. Nights will darken earlier and the heat of the setting sun will take with it, the fire in my eyes. To lose what I have gained mourns me softly to sleep. Visionless in wake, an outline only winds around my words, regret the only sound heard... without you. I play the screen, trying to feel again what isn't there, eyes that use to search, mine seeking the tiniest crumb of recognition realizing that currents change and troubled waters are ahead. And so I drift, no longer in need of what isn't there. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Seems there are always trouble water ahead, More than enough to flow under the bridge and over the dam. But we must just float along, Enjoyed Gloom |

Flash flooding... in the wake sometimes it takes a storm...other times just the warnings M |

“eyes that use to search, mine seeking the tiniest crumb of recognition realizing that currents change and troubled waters are ahead.” Wow. Such compelling words. I had to read several times just to get past this verse. Very deep emotion. JL |

To lose what I have gained mourns me softly to sleep. Perhaps in time, there will be many gains from the lose...Hope so, good things should come to a poet with such a lovely heart. |
