An infectious moment
worth a thousand words
I got home and took a bite
of the pie I bought
at the filling station
along the way, but then
didn't want anymore of it
when you came back to me
Had I a camera then
I would have taken
a color picture;
that visual impression
of you waving me goodbye
from the roadside, behind the house
got so woven into me,
for I realized in that farewell bid
you were giving me
a piece of yourself
Till we see each other again Tebo
so much I took from it
that all water became blood
and got so sentimental
that though it was time to leave
all of it was enough
It's these sort of things
that remind me why sometimes
I yearn to be left alone, vulnerable
to my demons, anguish and music -
By your simple act of love
my fabric was enriched, Tebo

- Comment from author about the poem: The date was 25th September 2023, ending a long weekend visit to family. Tebo's goodbye wave as I was driving off said it all, without saying anything. The stinging sorrow goodbyes have always serves one's heart and mind food for reflection, and thought. It had been a good visit. One too good, to evade a tear eyed end. Song Inspiration: Berardi, Foran & Karlen - I Picture You.

Thank you Teddy... Greatly appreciated comment gifted one...
To some, moments like these may seem insignificant, but a true poet sees everything worth mentioning. I love how your mind works
So true what you just said... It's like those black and white pictures ones has from years ago, whose spirit and life never dies, isn't it? This moment was captured by my lens like that.
