I saw you today
Unrecognizable,
and yet so familiar,
crimson and blue,
brown and tan,
building a wall,
and a bridge
on my heart.
My,
how far we’ve come!
I miss you sometimes,
but not too often
Just in the night
when I dream,
I dream of you,
of laughter
of love
and of moments shared.
I’ll never forget the moment
I first told you that I love you,
thinking you’d be happy—
as happy as you’ve made me.
I can’t forget the fear inside,
watching your face fall instead.
Now you’re pushing me away,
telling me I shouldn’t stay,
telling me I shouldn’t love you,
that I’m better off without you,
certain I’d no longer love you,
If I only knew...
picture from so long ago
remembering that day
waiting in anticipation
for the girl who had been
a best friend
now what was she?
I missed her
got all dressed up in
my favorite outfit
did my hair the way
I thought
looked best
wanted to impress
posed, for just a minute
in a pile of leaves
behind my sisters
one 'look'
one fake smile
one face radiating joy
me,
trying not to get leaves on my clothes
yet this picture
was my favorite for two years
why?
Before me I see 15 girls, each one a little taller than the one to her right. Each a year older than the one before. Golden hair, they all have, except for the youngest. They are looking around, chatting with their neighbor. They don’t know that I am there I walk to the start of the line. Before me is a baby. She has dark hair covering her head. Her face is rosy and her fists are clenched. Her left ear is smaller than the right. I bend down and take her in my arms. “Sleep well, little one,for you will see amazing things one day.” I gently set her down and move up the line.
**It took me ages. I know. Hopefully you'll like it enough to forgive me for making you wait so long...**
**I apologize for the long wait, but I hope you will find it worthwhile. This is the second-last part.... Enjoy.**
**Part eight, and we're not quite at the end yet. Enjoy.**
**Part Three and still going strong... I wonder how many more parts it will be before the end...? Anyway, I appreciate any thoughts, and of course, Enjoy! :) **
**Happy New Year, everybody! Here is part two. I would love to hear your thoughts on this second installment. Hope you enjoy! :) **
Slip away in darkness
while I hold off the dawn
hide among the tall rocks
and our flesh is stone for now.
Running, running, hiding, weeping
Dawn is coming, light is breaking
over the crest of the valley
We watch from the mountains, from rocks
and we know time is slipping.
No! Run away! Flee far with the night,
I will hold off the dawn
I will stay here and fight
I would rather die than see morning,
fall dead here than live tomorrow,
far away.
