upon first rays
missing you
echoed cries
of mourning doves
that could not stay

too much to hold,
you recede
endless daylight
revealing time gone
cold

and as you near
feelings rest,
impressions
in arms that mold
without fear

the long in a day

In rhythms to a rise the days shall follow ... each Yesterday, each Tomorrow.   -  Ct/05

Nicely written. I read this several times and find it very well done. Being around the mourning doves and Arizona sunsets I see the perfect parallels you have penned.  

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Bravo!
Well done!
Long time no see, my friend

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Thank you both ...
I actually wrote a full version and then
through a friends eyes wrote this ....


... I could hear her echoing each word

she is the other part of me


Thanks again for the read!

there is a peace within this....words dont often fail me....hugssss you

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
