i cry...





i cry for the things that you don’t do for to me
i cry for the things you do
i cry for the times we are apart
for the things i did not get to view

i cry for the heartbreak in your soul
i cry for the cracks in mine
i cry for the things you cannot see
when there clearly is sunshine

i cry for the memories you evoke
i cry for the dreams i had
i cry for the breathless moments in time
that you and i have shared

Shadow,

You write the human experience with such detailed precision. Thoughts that float in my mind, I would never have words for, you simply, seemingly easily just write...

Mama Zen said...

I love the line "I cry for the cracks in mine."

Shadow, I thought I was all finished with crying...then you find the right button or two, to start it all over.

Guess I simply cannot allow myself to read your blog anymore, (sigh!)
...until maybe tomorrow morning?
Maybe?

"breathless moments in time"

I really like that line.

Double Dip: Love the super-imposed mascara-cheek eye photo over that letter...where do people get these ideas. Well, that is real creativity.

And only God creates...but God CAN--and does--create, using us, and the talents given us.

Ceation is ongoing, it is NOW, never-ending, never began...just IS!

Please forgive the "pulpit" sound!

I love this peice, relatable, and makes you think...I have read four times just now, and still, find it warm, confusing (in a good way)...

and beautiful.

Cori Lynn Berg said...

The first line really pulls you in and is something anyone can relate to. And "I cry for the things you cannot see when there is clearly sunshine." Moving!

To be able to cry as well as laugh is to be fully alive and experiencing all life is about.

Beautiful sentiments.

This hit me especially, since I have not come to the place to actually feel my full pain and grieve like I should. Blessings.

I agree with Mama Zen.

My tears match those of hers outside now, cascading down my window pane. As I read your words written.
But so lovely, so heartfelt; you.
