Merinnie by Joy SyIt was in summer
on a day like any other
you came into my life's view
A sweet young thing
laughing and teasing
kindling the spark I once knew
For a brief moment
an instance of time
I felt, hoped and loved...
again
My only regret
is to never have said
Though I do not believe you were blind
So thank you
for the laughter,
the blood rush
and the butterflies
Thank you for the pain
I had forgotten what it was to be alive
I wish you all the best
on the journey you must follow
I wish you ... love
encompassing
and none of its sorrow 05/16/2009 Posted on 05/16/2009 Copyright © 2025 Joy Sy

Posted by Jo Halliday on 05/16/09 at 12:28 PM Brilliantly written, and really evocative. The ratings tell me evocative is just "4", so I couln't understand how something evocative is less. So the comment :) |
