The Girl

I see her sometimes,
When the cold autumn air,
Causes blinds to be pulled down, 
and fires to be lit.

She sits in a chair,
That is no longer there.
I watch her 
while she sits.

Her dress is of the palest blue,
Forget-me-nots
Embroidered on the sleeves.
She knows I watch her,
and she does not care,
But if I try to speak to her,
she leaves.

Sometimes she sits contentedly,
Other times she cries.
I would love to know the story,
Of her life,
and her demise.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Second sight is a world of mystery! Even when they speak, we have no way to verify who they are nor if what they say is true, which, I suppose, is what fascinates us. Aloha! Rico
