"Another Tuesday..."

History - go figure.

“Another Tuesday…”

 

I like the thought of you this morning

though it is just a passing echo - from behind my eyes.

The snow and ice returned overnight and

the mind wandered in its dark - again.

Strange …how the eyes trace nothings

…and the silences fill - everything.

 

I’m not staring, not - staring …just

seeing you - no, more of sensing you

there - on the other side of …what? Time?

The distance is lost in the mist.

I can almost hear life wandering by,

feel it …flowing - away.

I can taste each breath and yet

not remember taking it.

Where do all the thoughts go

in a mind’s “afters”?

 

It’s nearly gray -

the “shades” of the yet-to-comes

huddle close within.

I’m not cold …not at all… cold,

just thought-less and mind-full.

Another breath come-and-gone,

morning does that… on Tuesdays.

 

I almost wish - but that would be

telling…

Very enjoyable to occupy my eyes and thoughts. Enjoyed it.. Be blessed

"the mind wandered in its dark - again."- a very real place, one to easily get lost in...

"I almost wish - but that would be
telling…"- You leave the reader wondering at the end.

A powerfully gripping longing... it does hold us all at some moment or other. Staring at a face that isn't there as if we can see into another dimension. I've been there. Hell friend, I am there. I felt this. And I loved it all the more.

[Lyn Anderson]

A longing, a need, a waiting, a wanting. So powerful, so simple, so real.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

This is haunting, and I am haunted by its beauty. I think perhaps one of the most beautiful legacies that one can leave behind is his/her imprint on another's heart. Lovely!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You give me chills when you pen like this....so eloquent, yet so beautiful!

[Chris]

You have a way of pausing... that pauses me.

[J. J. Nightingale]

Lovely never leaves .. it takes up residence behind the eyes..
Dancing free form .. flowing ever flowing soft and warm
Thoughts come in circles .. waves of hello.. and good-byes
Lovely never leaves.. it takes up residence behind the eyes

Take care of all those loving memories.. and YOU

Me xo

How this lingers... softly... tracing finger prints on dusty windows.

It is glorious to wander through the free flowing stream of consciousness you present here. "sensing you
there - on the other side of …what? Time?" Einstein knew time was relative and when the New Year approaches, we all tend to be a bit reflective. May your yet-to-comes be as you imagine them to be, Chris. Great stuff here. Lydi**
