Days I Wish To Share

how close can far away be
in an aching that can peel the sky
shredding sunshine to clouds
the clap of applause, a clause, because
and days go missing once again
the veil of night is a curtain
that seems to close continuously
stretching out the last long shadow
of a lingering thought of you
where whispers glisten on leaves
that were kissed outside rain windows
dancing on skin I didn’t touch
there were such days in memory
mountains that melted to sand grain
and mundane became a marvel
just beyond fingertips I miss
in days I wish to share

“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

Oh my, the images you draw!

A canvas
with your words painted there.

Helen, you write for so many of us...

this touched deeply and I am saving to reread when I need to.
