she stepped
out
of herself
barefoot
following the trail
of broken memories
crumbling beneath
out
of herself
barefoot
following the trail
of broken memories
crumbling beneath
her feet
like so many
like so many
brittle leaves
in the fall
memories tainted
blood stained
buried in the
bitter cold
of yesterday
still
she walked
barefoot
into
spring
in the fall
memories tainted
blood stained
buried in the
bitter cold
of yesterday
still
she walked
barefoot
into
spring

WOW! Sometime, you need to write your "memoirs"....I want to know where these amazing poems come from...!
oh, listen, naomi, most times i feel as if my entire life is an open book here in my blogs/in these poems! with very little else to be added! ;)
but, you know, we all have our childhood demons...and so it goes...
thanks so much for your kind words!
This one has struck a chord for me once again... beautiful writing...and your image just perfect. Very hopeful. And so reminding me that I am already looking forward to next year's spring since this summer heat has me beat...Ms. Mother Nature wins. Hurry fall...and let winter pass quickly and get me to spring. I only wish I could walk through my memories as quickly as the seasons come and go...I'd like to walk barefoot into spring yesterday.
Awesome. Your muse is back i full swing!
yes, this is a hot summer for sure...105 heat index today already - odd how summers before central air and w/o ac in our cars don't ring as bad as today - whatever we are used to i suppose - but these days i'm usually carrying around a cup of crushed ice! ;) thanks so much for coming by, karen -
thanks, trish! we're trying! ;)
