Step By Step

We can feel and remember with our eyes and our minds.. I can write for hours telling my life from now to a different time.. You don't so much learn from distress or heart break.. Nor does another view change what's not their when you wake.. We can paint the wall a new bright color, yet its the same doorway only now no cover.. I can close my eyes and still smell the spring, breathing it all in as we know its more then a fling.. The stools on the walkway at that small cafe, holding hands laughing if only for today.. Our missed flight in life has passed , maybe for the time.. These eyes can't go a lifetime without yours circling mine..

All of us can relate to the thoughts expressed here, Michael. A coat of paint is a coat of paint..all it does is dress up a faded cover..but it was needed at the time so all was not lost..it served a purpose.. Deep insightful write. Totally enjoyed reading it though a slight touch of sadness, it is reality. Blessings, always, audrey

OO! Michael i/m on a thoughtless journey right now.. But, I could not resist to come and read. I kinda feel the let down here in your poem.. Glad one can't let go when the impossible takes place,..p.d.

So sad, Michael. How true that new paint on the walls will not change what's within the house. Memories like these can haunt us. Beautifully written. Love, Carolyn
