Colorful accessories and grey memories

Alta H Mabin

I woke up this morning
with the sun in my view
birds singing a happy greeting
flowers smiling as I tickle their petals with drizzly drops

But my heart is heavy
my tears are flowing
another day
colorful accessories covering my grey memories of you

Driving, as I do every morning
coffee at the office and the usual
small talk
back in my space, alone behind a closed door to the world outside,

allowing my emotions to flow
onto this page
it is the only way
I would cope through this day, my tears frozen, for now

    Aww, I'll come back then. I won't stay away, if you're having a bad-hair day! heehee.

    • Alta H Mabin

      Ha Ha, you are just so cool. Thanks for the giggles.

      Yes dear Alta writing out our sorrows and anguish at losing love is the only way to cope at times......... a solemn read but with wise advice to those undergoing such trials.

      • Alta H Mabin

        Thank you so much, lovely Fay.

      • Clara

        Alta, I can sense such deep pain and sorrow in your words but such bravery to continue your day. Letting your emotions out is sometimes the only way we can start our day with a clear mind... until we lose ourselves again. Great work.

          Thank you for your lovely comment, Clara.

          The days go on, their beauty pushed aside by dark clouds of inner turmoil which overrules and challenges our control.
          Resolute we know the days will ease and pains will give way to laughter somewhere, somehow, and it does, somewhere, somehow.

          Superb piece of melancholy expressed here which drew me right in.

          • Alta H Mabin

            What a lovely comment, thank you ever so much, Dusk.

            • Alta H Mabin

              That is such a lovely thing to say. Thank you, Fred.xx

              I think we all do this to some extent but both good and bad feelings are shown.

              • Alta H Mabin

                Yes, indeed. Thanks so much Goldfinch.
