I was cleaning up my myspace inbox... found this poem I'd written April 17, 2007 |
|
"About Her "
I've never written about her and I am not even sure why
I've never talked about her eyes.. bright, blue, knowing
She stood in the doorway her hair seemed on fire
In the end killed by desire
I've never written about any of the good She knew there was gentleness She understood
Intelligence cannot begin to describe the light behind her eyes she knew more than I ever would
The morning she left seemed like any other I didn't know It didn't show
And even now after so much time its difficult to find words
In a dream she appeared in white at peace surrounded by light
Funny, I don't remember her eyes in that dream and I'm reminded things are seldom as they seem
She did know how to love and learn and give and though she died young she lived
I miss her ***

Thank you for sharing -- memory of love and loss. We all have memories such as these, but rarely do we have the courage to share them. The tenderness of love and the pain of loss come through. Your words touched me, caused me to think, and to respond.
Again, thank you.
Peace.

This is really exquisite.
I'm especially drawn to this stanza:
She did know how to love and learn and give and though she died young she lived
I miss her
Thank you so much, sweetie!
