a cryptic message

artwork by garmash

last night

the moonlight touched my cheek

gently

                just as you used to

today i am full of yesterday’s laughter

studying a mote of dust

suspended in a sunbeam

wondering if this is a cryptic message

from another chapter of my life

one that i never quite closed

Life is a beautiful puzzle. It makes us move on yet keeps taking us back to some places where we dwelt before. Maybe there is something there, some reason beyond our understanding. I found this poem so beautiful in it's musings. ..Thanks for sharing Lydi.

Life is magical and mysterious if we choose to believe so, sending us puzzles and messages we can choose to solve and go after. Who knows, it may just lead us to something we always wanted. Very beautiful write, dainty and sweet.

"Yestreday's laughter" This poem was beautiful Lydi. Love does that to us, the memories we see and the ones we make....beautiful.

Bittersweet. Like looking through a kaleidoscope only to find the image keeps dividing... We cling to precious little as time weathers the fine-tuning of our memories.

Thanks so much, Diana. Lydi**

It is funny how the smallest thing can remind us of the past and then all those what ifs fill our thoughts...
Beautiful poetry and art Lydi.

The more things change
The more they stay the same...

No matter who, how or what you write about
Your incredibly unique style remains constant
without sounding the same or repetitive,
And always so fascinating to read.

Really love this.
