Lost & Found

down the rabbithole

Garden

Sunshine

Twisting the spine to flick the pages of a well read book

I look up and light is thrown through the dappled leaves onto my already freckled face

Time has raced by since you walked away

You left and I screamed for you to stay

Now you scream to stay and I tell you to leave 

I believed that day you took so much of me 

Now I know you gave ME back

I cry for your pain and I would sew you together if I knew that my stitches would stay

But I don't cry for me

You took all of my tears

In the light of my garden I can see...

ME again

            Garry took the words
            Right out of my mouth.
            Vivid picture perfectly

            Another good one...
