i remember …
walking to your gray-stone house
on the crust of snow in March, when the
air was still and soft, reminiscent of pearl,
it was a night of smoked glass that felt like a dream ~
it might have been

the whispers of love…
the sweetest of songs, sung into the ether
while your warm spirit hung on bare trees,
a rose bud expecting summer
awakening to find itself chilled
at dawn in midwinter

the rhythm …
of my heart sundered our paths
i set you free, i followed my joy
down a  yellow brick road, looking back
sometimes, but no regrets after all for the
hills and valleys of my solitary adventure

  8. You speak of an experience that all, who allow themselves to love and to follow dreams, experience. Sometimes I do feel regret, but not the kind saturated with grief. Maybe it is the regret that I had to give up something for something else even though I know I made the right choice. It would be fun to lead several lives.
