No Way of Telling?

In a blue morning sky I watched her going As she turned to say goodbye Her strawberry auburn hair still blowing In this heart deep inside Inside her smile.... Where her love shall reside These tears not knowing That our time in this place A place that left us With a rose petal trace.... While seasons passed by Now alone, to fade away Her strawberry auburn hair still blowing Across her dark chocolate eyes Her spirit going.... And I can't find a verse To say I'm sorry For this chance unrehearsed Where beauty found us In the still of the night.... When words were whispered From two souls that collide But now their parting These dreams.... In a black darkened hearse That calendars carried To this day in reverse No way of knowing While she turns back again Her driver waiting.... As I then drop my hand And watch her going On the breeze that brought her here Her beauty leaving Water marks upon this heart Which let her walk on.... Before these tear brim filled skies These eyes which held her In the still loving nights Where flowers blossomed This song deep inside Two souls colliding.... On a path drawn for life A life now fading With these dreams that we shared That see her going Before she turns to say goodbye Afore this knowing.... Dark shadowed sky Her beauty lingers As I then sweep these eyes Inside her smiles Now frozen tears.... I watch her leaving While we both, wave goodbye ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No way of telling?

Her strawberry auburn hair still blowing Across her dark chocolate eyes (I loved this description of her hair and eyes!) thanks for your super comment to me on my Hunger poem. I was awarded highly for that one nine years ago when I first wrote it, and am so happy you loved it too. YOu have a poet's soul for sure because I can see you love the beauty of words. The repitions in this poem really drove home your sad point! Nice to meet you. LUv, andrea

This is beautifully penned from your heart, John. A poignant and heartrending piece, shrouded by loss. A very difficult write to comment on...it feels like something that should be read with silence, and respect. Hope all's well with you...take care, be well...and God bless you and yours! Love to you...Mikki

John, a beautiful outpouring from the heart of someone special who has touched your life in a way that carries the soul. So many heartwrenching lines of love and love lost in the wind. Sadly, that is the way it goes, there is no way of knowing what time will unfold. Love to You Always, Love, Charlene
