Softly the truth will come to you no big goodbye no tears no reason to cry you won't even know when it happened or how but when the truth comes softly you will know why though unspoken the reason your heart will bear witness to the soft changes that have taken place in you softly subtly I will change less and less a devotee more and more enshrined in me I will softly leave barefoot and free heart demanding the same degree of camaraderie softly subtly I will one day no longer be there for you did not care enough to softly gently nurture me Eileen

Lovely write, Eileen, and in my view the form and word length is almost like each line is dabbing the tears from someone's eyes. Impressive. Viv x

Softly my heart will explode into a space of silent oblivion...there is a sanguine tempo and temper to this poem's prophesy Eileen. There are times when prophesy yeilds to contravening desire Beloved Poetess...J.A.B.

How easy it is to take forganted those we are supposed to cherish most or vice versa... Sometimes it is too late when we try to express our care . Love is the present,lets live it today. Fantastic message Eileen.

I guess it can apply to both. When I look at the shape of this one for some reason it makes me think of the profile of a totem pole. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend Eileen. Hugs Rick.

Hi...yes, I guess it could. Perceptions differ, I guess. A totem pole, eh? I didn't see that. Take care, Wizard.

This is an apt warning that all men should heed, make your woman feel loved and appreciated! Great message!

It's actually about a friend. Thanks for reading, Richard.

Sad, beautiful, and true Eileen. Love will slowly drift away if it is not nurtured, shed propper light, or cherished. You won't even realize it until it's gone. I love the softness here.

Love and friendship. I'm glad you liked it, Tim. I keep hoping I'll learn to love as I am loved. I know it's not the Godly way, but....self preservation sometimes shouts out louder than His voice. Hugs

Hello dear...I was on a trip. I have a blog up about it if you're curious enough! ;) Sorry I haven't been around to visit. I'll catch up soon. Glad you liked this piece. I'm still trying to learn not to invest in people more than they invest in me. Will learn....eventually.
