reconnoitering with the regrets

reconnoitering with the regrets 

 

 

drab notice,

in the certain trees

a foliage of faces,

memories of lovers branching into atmosphere

 

there is too much gray

in a background of tearful joy,

just to have loved is like a soft rain

but tears slammed to the ground

are reminders of raging what if's

 

i want blue

but a different blue

not the sardonic effort of sad pens

but the blue that holds my sky in its hands

reminiscing with a sympathetic sun

 

that understands

the roots of the relationships

that grew me into who i am

 

a floral contingent of green fading into silver,

into gold,

 

about to leave the tree

understanding the need to let go.

A lovely write "I want blue a different blue" To look at the heavens the blue skies littered with clouds is everyone's kind of blue!

Breathtaking...

but the blue that holds my sky in its hands...

This one made me cry.

reminiscing with a sympathetic sun-that understands the roots of the relationships that grew me into who I am...

so many moments woven into the fiber of our beings.

What is is about the heart of an artist... always left with unquenchable desire?

Do I really have to let go? Maybe when the time is right...peace will flood my soul...maybe it is the hope that keeps us alive.

Mascara running now...but worth experiencing the beauty of this piece. Thank you so much.
