On loss....

[Irene Wilde]

Something someone said brought this one to mind.

IW
_______________

Scared little girl,
Motherless child.

Red-rimmed eyes
And tear-stained cheeks,
Hiding in the reflection
Of a grown woman.

Across the years,
Their eyes meet.

And each asks
Woman/child
In an echovoice only the
Other can hear…

"Why was my love not enough?"

 

[downthrough]

Wow, beautiful. I really, really like this; it's flawless. Thanks for the inspiration!

 

[Irene Wilde]

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Not bad, it's good work.

I believe to my soul now,

you can run,

Don't, don't be busy sinking or running. just sit and have a look at the blue ocean, the flying clouds, ... and sun rising on the sea

Crystal, you Queen of Reconsideration, now I'll be wondering all day what it is you decided not to say after all!

Always say the first thing that comes to your lips, it's the truest and from your heart. If you edit yourself, you fade a little
