Sadness melancholy
Peace and quiet - sun is setting
So much to be seen in this photo
the angel’s eyes are following me everywhere I go
Light like crystals in my eyes
Watching you cry as I walked upon an aisle
Wondering how much pain I caused
You didn’t understand
All looked like big fancy flowers ready to wilt
In a vase too fragile to contain them
Rain - I love you
Sand - sun and saltwater sting my skin
Completely lost, frustrated and brilliant but unseen
Sitting in a vase just like flowers for everyone to touch
Despise you and annoy you
Sitting on a shore by myself with no one around me
A beautiful beach in this universe
Could be the moon

I love the angel's eyes following you...and the statement "Rain - I love you" it washes everything clean. Well done. ~Brenda

ReplyDeleteThanks and lately I having been feeling blue
I think I need a vacation on a beach by myself

Pamela, I empathize with your thought about vacationing with your dogs. The hardest thing about vacationing is being without them!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Mary

You captured well the sense of loss and how alien the best of places can become without the company we loved however much taken for granted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stan a very good assessment.
