She wraps me in her cold embrace,
a hold that will not let go . . .
I welcome her with half a heart,
which is more than I truly have.
One time - in my ardent youth -
I was unaware that sadness
Lurked outside the playground
fence, biding her time; she
Knew I'd venture out, as all boys
do, when 'safe and sound'
From elders' lips fell on deaf ears
of silly boys of simple heart.
We are here for you if you need and want to talk about it.
Much love to you.
Oh, Coco... that was beautiful. Gave me that pause... you know when the world stops for a beat and all you know are the words you're reading (or an image you're seeing, etc.)?
Peace and love to you,
tammy
CoCo, you ok??
Coco is a true poet, But I have to ask
do you regret not listenin' to the Elders in matters of the heart
Or in other things ????? jus ' askin'

Greetings and thanks, dear whathappened and tec:
It's wonderful hearing from you both.
Your concern is much appreciated, whathappened, but this was just a little ditty composed in the wee hours of a Saturday morn. My old stuff was wordy and dense; I'm into sparse and to-the-point writing now. Fortunately, today, I am detached from and objective about a once overwhelming sadness. Writing about it now is without pain, cringing, wincing . . .
It's good to be at this juncture in life!
Wishing you both well and a happy day.
Love,
CoCo
Thanks, Minimus - I'm OK! Just writing!
Wasblind: Thanks for your post; by elders I meant parents.
No JW elder influence when I was a little boy.
Gratefully,
CoCo
good
Beautiful writing as always...
