Several faces cross my mind
Memories of dried up wishes
Daydream bouquets wilted
Another handful of dry petals
Blowing away as I toss them
Into the cold spring wind…
March lions hail down
Pellets of frozen ice
Winds slice through my armor
another false disguise
Pulling my coat closer feeling resigned
I turn and bump into you.
A flash of immortal fire
splits the darkening skies
Two souls find each other
through the meeting of startled eyes
And suddenly with a lightning view
I realize in all of those confusing faces…
I was searching for you.

Melissa, Tubularsock commends you for this wonderful and powerful poem. Very well done.
Tubularsock wrote a poem once. It started with Mary had a little ……. but then Tubularsock forgot what Mary had. Just as well because he fell asheep.
Hahahaha! Love it! Just for that comment, I will follow you. Great sense of humor. 😀
How are you Melissa. You have me worried.
Oh my friend, how sweet you are to check up on me! I am doing great! The chest cold I had is gone. It was not the coronavirus, just my normal chest cold I pick up every time I come here. I’m now starting to take longer walks each day. I know that we have been encouraged to travel back to the States, but I was planning on staying here until August anyway, so I’m not going anywhere. I know it sounds odd, but I had a feeling or an impression that I would be here in England for a long time. However, there are days when it pours rain that I think of you and your beaches and wish I was there. xxx
Your last poem was so beautiful, but so sad. I was going to comment, but it was hard for me to find the words. I will comment on your poem, but will have you leave it unpublished. Sending my love and hugs xoxoxo
😃😅this is a beautiful post. You have a nice blog. Keep up the great work you are doing on your blog 💐
Thank you so much! Cheers! ❤
🥰💐
Whoever he is, I’m sure that he still loves you very much.
Ah…if only. I haven’t met him yet. Just a fantasy that I hope to have one day. 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you so much! And thank you for visiting. 🙂
My pleasure!
Perfect title for this beautiful piece. This was powerfully written. You started off with sadness (death via wilted dry petals). And you turned the entire piece around. You know I loved this finale. These are the finales I am always searching for.
Bravo Melissa.
Thank you dear friend! I really appreciate your comment on this. Yes, it’s a finale we are both searching for. One can only hope that we both find it in our lives. Sending a hug and I dearly hope that your heart is finding peace and healing in your happy place xoxo
Big hugs right back.
Keep thinking positive. It will come for both of us.
Be well. xoxoxo
