"Echoes..."

Pausing is part of what we do...

"Echoes..."   I reached and touched your hand... it wasn't soft and smooth ...but I smiled. As people, we have feelings inside we so want to share... sometimes we get lucky and another's hand finds ours ...sometimes we don't get as lucky and we share our dark as best we can - as only we can. I wander life tasting each breath - looking looking so hard wishing wishing for fingertips, dreaming of a voice - speaking so soft and warm, and seeing so many - so many smiles that aren't mine nor meant for me ...and I don't cry ...don't cry... I just wish all the more and walk a bit more ...slowly, into my sunset. Chris

To me this says that love changes, people change, sometimes
we change and are never the same again, but we breathe,
we go on, we have no choice.

Great write with true feelings..heartfelt and emotional.

A thought can take us far .. And we can feel those fingertips , even in our dark .. We know SOMEONE is smiling just for us, even in that silence so very far ..

A heart beats at sunset ... causing me to be breathless ... Jazz

....from the very heart of you.
lovely, tender to behold, gold in its worth
a vein yet mined...raw, refined...
felt...
