What We Were

Fay Slimm.

 

What We Were.
 
A bunch of dried heather

now faded,

long dead

yet still sits in a jar on the table

and my bed faces its spell.

 

Surely now I should  obey

time's message,

love changed

but no witchcraft discards 

or throws away,

used completeness 

 so what we were will remain.

    Just as it should remain. The touching sensitivity of this piece reaches out and though it can never hold for the reader that which it holds for the two, it holds the depth of the meaning of what love brings to our humble table. Life's treasure.

    A must for my favs.

        Dried and faded, it still holds the essence of what was fresh and beautiful, forever young, like the love that never dies. Such a beautiful, touching poem, loved it.

          Very true Fay, we may change but what we were will always be in our minds.

          I love this Fay. A beautifully written poem that hits the spot nicely.
