let us explore the world.
we can't stay forever
in this dingy place.
can't you see the writing on the wall?
your hood hides your face
I see you swallow a lump
a loved one is no more
gone too soon
we cannot cover that distance
let go of your sorrow
let it be passed on to me
don't stand at that crossroad of living dead
"close your eyes and feel the particles of her presence
they will ensconce you. always"

Oh....my heart......
Beautiful!
I love this! Kind of mysterious. Kind of sad. Kind of romantic. Kind of hopeful.
You always touch my heart.
elicited a few emotions, which makes your post so good ......
Touching and expressive, Gautami. I love the tender moments you included. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful poetry and I love the image you paired it with.
Very touching and the mystery of who is speaking remains.
Beautiful ...thank you for this
This poem hits me hard where it pains. I see writing on the wall and yet refuse to read!
An artful crafting of the different prompts!
Gautami,
Motivational for one who is in mourning. Life has to go on and one needs to keep fond memories of one who is gone.
Take care
"don't stand at that crossroad of living dead" ?
I certainly wish the Magpies would leave this road, for sure! LOL :)
A movie in a few short stanzas. I loved the feel and that last line in quotes so cool. Was that yours or a quote?
beautiful indeed Gautami....thanks for sharing
Another lovely from me!

Oh MY!! That poem is just gorgeous on so many levels! Ironically it fits exactly with the book I am reading: Peony in Love (Lisa See)- very coincedental! And I LOVE the image! Thanks so much!
