"...never..."

I paused with Sharonlee's thoughts...

Sharonlee

"...never..."

 

I close my eyes and see

so much more than there always just was

- the magyk within

each breath and dream...

fingertips rustling the wind...

rainbows in raindrops,

all the echoes

in the tears I've shed and

in those I've softly brushed away.

I've shared haunted moments

and darknesses too.

Tasted life-happens as only IT does.

Been the last to walk ...away -

the last smile standing...

as the sun ...sets just THERE beyond my fingertips,

THERE - as my breath expands to transparency

and beyond...

petting the Cheshire cat and feeling it purrrrr...

 

Chris

I lingered within these thoughts for a few moments, your poetic honesty has always been beautiful. ..moments passed before I fully realized. ... and I smiled and I thank you my dear friend, and for all the many thoughts we have shared over the years.
I have missed many of you in my absence. ♡

Welcome back... your visions and insights make this such a better place.

Trust you to showcase sharonlee's writing and artwork, the time she moved into the shadows, the cafe lost a true craftswoman. And you, Chris. are what the word 'friend' means. With absolute intention: pray and hope you both stay at the helm for as long as.. .. please very much.

Beautiful- and yes there just there - not far as we think it is as it’s actually here just here🌹

the last smile standing ...i like that ...its a better state of heart ... going to catch up with Sharonlee now .. your title seems at odds with the poem tho ... there is a lot of depth and living in it ... hmmm .. :) vivid images and creative personifications i see .. such a strong feeling of warmth and comfort in a life lived with voracity ...

this is such beautiful poem and i like it very much, there is no point to analize it further and all words i write would be so pale here.

I see a light when my eyes are closed. I once saw a rainbow in the spray from a whales blow. You are the light at the end of that tunnel, Chris.

You see much more than there was. Perhaps many of us when looking backward at a lost love, add much more to the event than reality. Kathie

Another enchanting one, with blinding imagery..

[armin]

Beautiful as wondrous. I liked many phrases like the one 'rainbows in raindrops' ,it was a nice write.

Using my own interpretation and life experience this write has me feeling things I'd rather put away ... If only I knew how. Well written sir.
