    I think of youAnd can’t help thinking about usAn openingAn unfoldingThe falling of wallsAnd guardsThe laying aside of old fearsAnd old livesAs the new opens before meIn layersLike the petals of a roseWith the coming of the sunGlistening with...

    • Isn’t funny how time and events shape us but the eyes show everything. Nice poem

      • Everything changes but the eyes remain.the window of the soul. Thanks for reading. Hopefully it brought an old memory or two. 🌼

    • this is hauntingly beautiful I feel like I am not the same person at all and wonder where that person went great write 💕

      • We’re ever changing, and yet, the inner child remains, the touchstone all else is measured by..I hope you’re doing better 🌼

    • Dear AJ,

      This makes me see sepia toned memories of my own childhood. Although we were carving these pictures into cave walls. There is definitely a gentle melancholy in this piece for innocence and more time. Lovely write. H🌷

      • Thoughts of childhood bring nostalgia. Simpler times, no responsibilities – just you always blaming me for pulling your pony tail. As if such would ever cross.my innocent mind 🌼😋

    Celestial

    Somewhere in the world is born such a day as this * Silence Washed amber-gold Softly warms fleeing shadows Hazed by mists And awakens the soul To breath deep the morn Rendering heaven of earth before the eye To bind in this moment apart The heart Such the poetry of...

    • Nice write my friend…

      • Thanks Fred. Just trying a different approach. Finding pictures on Pexels.com that interest me and trying to find words to fit them instead of just scribbling in a notebook. Hopefully it wasn’t to.painful an experience for you.

    • I believe we all have such moments at times, even if we tend to dismiss or forget them. I’m happy to hear this gave you a thoughtful pause. 🌼

    • Dear AJ,

      I love that phrase “ we are strangers here, we are missing there”. Makes me think we are somewhere amidst the “ in between”
      I enjoyed the journey of thought from this piece. Wonderful write of reflection. H🌷

    • hello dearest Joe love who you love and give yourself as fully as you can even if it’s just a friendship because being half there is no way to live trust me I know 💕

      • Hello dear friend. There once was a time, but I survived. The wound left a scar but I healed. This was written then and is just a memory now.. Thank you for reading and caring🌼

    • This is packed with so much emotion. It’s as if I could feel what you’re feeling.
      Keep moving, keep trying, don’t let anyone tell you you’re not worth it.
      Thank you for sharing this.

      • Thank you. Love is breathtaking, even in its failure. It was once a.long walk in the dark but I awoke, and now I breath again.
        I appreciate the counsel of kind words. its the simple truths that get us through.🌼
