the great healer

dusk arising

 

 

She'd found him in the dunes that night
staring at the waves, Daphne's locket in his hand.
Tears still wet on his face, she silently embraced him.
They had made crazy love that night and she'd fallen
asleep easily, suddenly waking to find him gone.
There were no words she could say now.
Impossible to compete with the solace of the dunes,
oceans crashing tide and the noble domain of the stars.
But there was time, the great healer.

    • dusk arising

      Time does wonders but it's easy to become impatient. I was thinking that, like my poem yesterday, I bet you could write some great poetry about the early childhood years of growing up with your sister..... go on, I dare ya !!!

          Sometimes you just can't compete with the past, and I don't even think time matters.

          • dusk arising

            Hmmm not sure I agree with you about time doesn't matter. It certainly has allowed me to either overcome or tame emotion felt at the time of the event. However, we are all different and have our own experiences so I'm not saying you're wrong.
            Thanks Paul.

              A wonderful poetry once again
              Time is surely a healer
              But I guess it’s a slow healer
              To some scars it takes loads of time to heal
              To some Deeps it takes a lifetime to bridge across
              Imagery on point
