Picture You

Clara

The day before yesterday, I pictured you

When fear knocked upon my door and my heart was a heavy weight upon the floor

I pictured you, my love 

With deep brown eyes made of dirt 

Of life enrichment 

You never failed to chase the fear away and ground me upon this Earth

Today, I cannot picture you 

As you leaving brought me pain

So whenever you cross my mind, my love 

I must turn my face away.

    Thank you Clara for this sensorial, grounded Lament in every sense your words evoke. It speaks to me of tension between strength and vulnerability.

    at the end of love, it is often easier to turn away and I think you have done an exemplary fine job of articulating this sad but true phenomenon ...

    Very emotive write, it i so sad when love fails. It will come back to you though.
