Pictures and Postcards

Pictures and postcards crumpled up letters memories of moments captured in a nighttime dream Picnics and flowers warm summer breezes whispers and kisses captured in a daytime dream Feelings are flowing, circling and dipping creating allusions - causing confusion life pushes on - pressing and pulling leaving a memory etched in a restless mind I wait - alone - one with the morning dew scared - lost - in moments without you no going back, no turning back scared of a future with no you Pictures and postcards crumpled up letters memories of moments captured in a nighttime dream Feelings are flowing, circling and dipping creating allusions - causing confusion life pushes on - pressing and pulling leaving her memory etched in a unclear mind Muddling through motions moonbeams and raindrops sunshine and silence Life goes on, or so it seems

Hi Tim, have you never found that sadness can sing so beautiful when it is placed before us so gently. You have that gift my friend. You can create beauty out of the emotions you feel at the moment. Always let your heart sing Tim, it is a limitless ocean. A seven....Vladislav.

Tim.... sad writes of late. Makes me sad to read. Hauntingly sad, but sometimes a whole lifetime of love can be in those pictures and postcards....there's the beauty of it all... Blessings

Thanks Eileen. Holidays can be a lonely time when your loved ones aren't with you all the time. I did write another one but haven't post it yet. Much happier : )
