Beginning with:
Ode to a feeling that won't be expressed
Cluttersome words, bothersome phrases
pins to destroy beauty
staking a feeling out, making
it stark
Ideas like butterflies, silken, colorful
full of flight...
Ending with:
...I can accept that today
and twirl and whirl some days hence
in dances of joy,
and in this tear sodden shirt feel her peace flow
in to the loving heart inside mine.
_______________________________
This collection will lead you on a journey through reflections on grief, insights about love, and observations on the world around us.
...you see what you wanna see in the woods
and it stamps the words
eternal love
with reality.
