moving poem 2

by Kathleen Wilson


my tears

made the fireplace
the long wait
and the sand that settled
in heavy bags on every floor
I could not lift them
instead I lightened the recipe
with some improvisation

my tears

in the heavy mix
were hard to stir
in the strong solution
before it was ready
all the broken pieces
were set into the wall
and I started the fire

Author's Note: how it went~~~
second thoughts but in no particular order

How many time through out life to we have second or even third thoughts? But life goes on with or without us. This is a really good write m'lady.

Yes, that is how it goes and I read both one and two in back order and two grabs my heart strings and adds tears for I missing something today, or someone and maybe it is from a past I moved from...so that is how it goes but we do move one. Nicely done. smh

Moving piece, and you nailed it. It is your validation.

I love the concepts and realizations of them in your writings. Another great work.
