That flower so red and pure
The one that slipped your memory
all its goodness taken from its leaves
until it turned to dust
then got blown away in the wind

I used to wonder
When you look back
Which me do you see?

The one you left
Or the one who had to leave?

Both have cried for you
Both have mourned you
Both have dug a grave and said goodbye to you

But the now me knows you don't look back, perhaps you never could.

Red petals fell in
An absent manner, slipping
Through cracks in the floor.

#SenseWrds Prompt 265
#Poetry

how long I have sat here
the idea that there were ways back to you
feels like an old story
told at bedtime

I look around
but every road
is overgrown

I look up
and remember how I marveed
at the stars strewn
across the sky
now I see only
the space between
where I love yous
are silent

I’m lost in a mystery
stuck in a maze
within a maze
I’ve been returning
to the same outcomes
repetition is the way
Circling around
& around like months
within years the leaves
of the walls begin
to change They fall
a breeze blows thru
the sounds&colors
change to something
new A lost truth #SenseWrds

A classic blue stone, shining like a star. An heirloom passed down. A reminder of family history

Under the bright yellow blooms, fears and hesitation recedes. Providing calm thoughts to help you have sweet dreams.

(Calming Floral Forgotten)
The soothing scents from the garden awaken memories not thought of for ages. Some sweet like mint. Some rancid like the Dragon Lily

Goose-foot
…
Three routes at the trail's goose-foot.
My knees can handle the rise,
its the gravelly down-slope ~
my dad being honest again,
no complicated explanations.
So we took the circle-back
through the woods along the stream.

Too easy to drift
Apart when all the roads lead
To a broken heart.

There is a well trodden passageway that many have walked with a pocket full of dreams and a knapsack filled of hopes. Seeds of inspiration are strewn and over time will take root and ease into the world with a quiet beauty and bold determination.
