on this rainy dawn
I am barefoot on a narrow stone
looking out through eyes blurred by emotion
seeking an unknown part of my past
and a place I must have known
would find me here
with no one yet to answer
but for me the purple buds are tempted
another week to stay
sorrow comes easily
as in the counting still –
of friends he seems
more willing than the rest
to listen as my heart concedes
I knew not when to break
or what of verses uttered now
would yesterday
forsake
silent
raindrops
welcome my tears
a hundred times – of listening
volumes unconfessed
across a lifetime
separated –
mourning
words of love
. . .

Great feelings.

For all that emotion takes, it somehow manages to give us words. Thank you, Salva. ❤
SalvaVenia said:
If sometimes you might have the feeling of a somewhat strange word or expression from my side, kindly remember that I am a foreigner to your tongue and that the sole reason for any such sentiment probably resides there.
It’s just because I feel the better word in my earlier comment might have been emotions instead of feelings. 🙂
tornadoday said:
I do so understand……….and I personally like the word ‘feelings’ much better. 🙂
SalvaVenia said:

My world is made richer for your presence, Wendell……… As I age, I find the tears sit closer to the lid…….but it’s a joy I cannot refuse. We are blessed always for the love we give away. ❤
