Queries

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Queries.

 

at Now's surreal boundary

where Should meets mind's edges

loss presents sense

with untimely lamenting

as pebble-tough questions

appear underfoot,

 

when sting of saline rimes

tear-wet cheeks

in unwelcome patches

as stress faces finality and sad

queries reason by 

asking things not understood,

 

here, as Endings defeatingly

mingle with joys of

Beginnings does deceit's hold   

ever let go for belief

to flow on again 

in one who so willingly

young-love at first undertook ?

    I sense those jarring moments when self assurance subsides and faith in where you fit into the scheme of things capsizes......
    . ...... but a slap in the face from the seventh wave of incoming tide reminds you, you've a life to be getting on with and suddenly those tears have done their job..... repaired, at least for the time being.

    Outstanding wordsmanship. Beautifully crafted delve into the human psyche. A must for my favourites.

          Sorrows only answer is hope, but the journey, as you have so eloquently poemed, rides the saltine stream,

          • Fay Slimm.

            Yes I truly agree - sorrow demands tears at times my friend. Much gratitude for your kind review of Queries.

              how much we mourn
              those aspects, we seldom
              reflect - on, until
              it's far - far: too late
              to quantify
              the why, when and how
              of all, that perished
              within those
              we so fervently, cherished...

              • Fay Slimm.

                Your thoughtful comment on Queries leaves no doubt that you agree there has to be time for questions when loss is all we can see. Appreciate muchly your continued support of my work dear L.B.
