Shudders In Echoes

~


“I'd never known her to cry”


Her smile that warms
every heart that it touches
Springtime and daisies,
blue morning skies


“but this time is different for sure”


As rivers stop flowing
neath cloud altered whispers
set off in regrets
of sorrow filled cries


“she's shaking with tears in her eyes”


Knees meeting soil
her face now she’s hiding
shudders in echoes 
of pain she does know


“as she picks up what’s left of the night”


In moon beam intentions
now star lit and lonely
I hold her in comfort
so my love does show

It is a wise man who knows when a woman just needs to be held. Your sensitivity emerges so gracefully in this gentle, comforting poem, Chris. A fave for me! Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you so much Heidi. Just something that came to mind that I felt needed to be posted today, though Fridays around here are usually pretty slow.
