Kindling

Kindling

 

 

It is so hard

To smile

When one sees

Only

Half of the

Whole

One wants to see

 

Now tho he

No longer

Sees

He may feel

Your pain

More tenderly

Perhaps

 

Since it is

Clear

Darkness  

Brings new light

Maybe it is time

Now to take a

Second peek

 

To check for

Any trace of her

In summer snow

And blood shot skies

Lit only by

Kindling and a few

Historical embers

When the grasp becomes freed... the inner dialogue becomes existential whispers, The clarity of the once clutched becomes more defined more beautiful more ugly more... more! Sometimes distance is a microscope in this humble bunny's opinion. This is A delicious and reflective write in these embers Mr. Nev

oh man! poignant ...deeply reflective pain of loss .. once having love ... sighhhhhhhhhh :( i guess one can try ... if there is that smallest ember still lit ... sadly ... me own life would tell me ... it aint gonna happen ... some things are one chance and one only ... time changes everyone and every place .. the old hood is haunted by new unfamiliar ghosts ... and that lost love ... tho she may be friendly ... rarely will dive in again ... that love remaining lost .... :(( well said ... very very emotive ... colored with memories and hopes... another keeper Nev!

Your gracefully-stated message brings to mind how I recently dug out an old book & found a greeting card inside that I had been using as a bookmark. It was from my best friend who died about five years ago. I'd gotten out of the habit of thinking about him every few days, but finding this card was "kindling" and now he crosses my mind often again for a bit! *sigh!* Thanks for the pleasant tickle of longing! (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

We seem to want most what we don’t have or have lost. A poetic reminder to hold tight to the good things in life, especially loves, and enjoy the fire. One to reflect upon, sir.

[Neville]

bless you my friend, how very kind... N

The second peek always decides; whether the sentiment is worth pursuing or not. Philosophically profound thoughts written with elegance, N.

[Neville]

thank you my dear M... :)

Sad and sadder still that he has only just started to reflect on her pain now that he doesn't see her. Sometimes I find the most fleeting things in life are remembered as being the most beautiful. Lovely work.

[Neville]

thank you kindly Chris, and much appreciated too.. Neville

[andrew mitchell]

Have you tried prodding her Neville to get her going, the fire that is! Jokes aside well done, sad but true, nicely written.

[Neville]

thanks Andrew, for the much appreciated advice and encouragement... Neville

[Crowley]

With experience, the half picture sometimes becomes more than the whole because of understanding and a bit of compassion. Well done sir, well done!

[Neville]

yes, indeed sir... and how bloomin true is that... Neville
