pretending

artwork by rob gonsalves

we swam through the storm

shared it

you and i

hiding in alcoves

hoping no one would find us

we co-authored a new reality

a special stillness created just for us

we  were bundled thoughts of symmetry

inside abstract concepts

basking in a sun shining  for only us

somehow it all sailed back to me today

circumventing the shipwrecks of the past

and i reinvented the ocean

pretending you were swimming with me

and i reinvented the ocean
pretending you were swimming with me.... :)
That's so full of sweetness and sense of loss yet coping with the memory of the loved one.... pretending they are with you...at your side...
I guess we all do it at some point...to cope up with the loss....or when we are not yet ready to let them go.....as beautiful as always Lydi...:)
