and what of you when she went away
when she slipped from view that cold dark day
did a part of her remain perchance
remnant of your swirling shadow dance
and what of you when she came back not
when she slipped from you in a loose lover’s knot
did a piece of her lodge in your heart
remnant of your mind’s work of art
and what of you now since she’s been gone
when with her she took your brilliant dawn
and what of her since she slipped from sight
when with you she left her beloved night
and what of her since she went away
when from you she left ‘fore judgment day
and what of you
and what of her
now
now
that she’s
gone
and
you're
both
all
alone
what of you
what of her
.

How can we know what's in his mind and heart? We gaze longingly into the hidden secrets in our own minds and hearts and understand that the feelings, the memories cloistered there, are mirrored in a looking glass that we can't see....within him. Yes? Missing you, dear cousin. Hoping you are happy and well. c
here's to "into the looking glass", alice! ;) wonderful to have you come by, dear cousin!
So comforting to finally hear from you, dear J. I've been worried. When you move into the silence of the In-Between, I grow concerned and wait for you to emerge again.
These recent entries are poignant; revealing; soul-searing. Words from the Deep that wait to speak.
Beautiful isn't a sufficient adjective, but then, you know what I mean. c
girl, i've been in the in-between all my life and the last life - so no need to fear - i'm always near -just sometimes distracted - and what is love if not soul-searing - and then there is the separation - now, that's some soul-searing, isn't it! thanks so much for leaving words - they are the nourishment of a poet's heart! ;)
