La Rêverie

SerenWise

Some sacred moments

You feel so close,

Like I could just                                  reach out...

And take your hand,

Or caress the stubble

On your jaw.

The proximity of the moment               intense...

And full of faith.

Then it slips through my fingers

Like the finest of silks;

Softer than a kittens breath,

And so easily blown asunder

To scraps and rags

In the storm's great squall.

The yawning gap opens again,

And realisation dawns                             cold and still...

And so it goes.

    Beautifully written. Never seen you write like this before.... it's poetry perfection.
    I keep reading it as if it were answering a longing within me.

    Absolute must for my favourites.
