The prompt for the local poetry group was Lost and found. So I went car keys, wallet, jacket....love

Open link night 410
When the Mist Remembers
sunrays sneaking through the door
witnessing the wonder of love
we flung the windows open
let the wind whisper softness
let music play the minstrel
the cello humming in our chest
but time tipped its hat sideways
love stopped walking straight
one day its petals scattered
the moon thinned to a sliver
your attention drip‑dried
the sky emptied of your voice
your face fractured like glass
my heart bleeding blue
clutching strokes of memory
my mind shredding them to scraps
leaving me with longing
that never learned to end
life washed the pain downstream
until one morning smiled at me
mist veiled the waking land
a breath moved between two souls
who didn’t yet know
they were touching
"leaving me with longing
ReplyDeletethat never learned to end"
such poignant lines that resonate with me.
I'm glad she found hope as a new beginning awoke at the end.
Really beautiful, Marja. I love the whole of the second stanza especially and the lines at the end:
ReplyDelete"a breath moved between two souls
who didn’t yet know
they were touching"
Three great movements here and there is something magical in those moments before knowing!
