What chapter are we at?
Sometimes I am numb,
Sometimes I am touched,
Sometimes I feel dead,
Sometimes I see hope.
Are you still here with me
in my youth, my breath, my silence,
and those of our stubborn faith?
Sometimes I wonder what they see when
again probing and staring into my eyes?
For they are not the same anymore,
They are now hiding a muted secret:
The reminiscence of your last gaze.
Is this love?
But my existence is merely a beautiful mistake,
I thought I was only a passerby, not a settler...
The key to your heart, of love young and old, so precious and strong, unlock to behold. Your natural beauty, Annabel, is reflected in your poetry, through which I anticipate many more lovely chapters along your journey forward. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, my dear. โ๐ผโค๏ธ๐๐
How each question powerfully echoes and how at each line, after each pause, I am moved by your poem. The last stanza an especially powerful finish.
It is a gift to continue to witness and be moved by your beautiful words and life Annabel. ๐ป
Wishing you well ๐ ๐ป๐ป

Thank you Annabel ๐ฅณ๐โ๐ป that I definitely shall, the perfect words to wake up to and breathe in the sunrise ๐
learning to feel alone, but accepting the truth I am not alone… it is in my breath, it is in my presence! How we feel is not always reflective of the truth…Your essence, Your passion, Your dance, Your poetry and the eyes that are dared to be looked into… The phases, the plans, and the patterns…receiving the answer and still finding a reason to ask the same question.
WOW! Thank you so much for the generous and kind words, my friend! ๐ธ๐ฅณ๐You bring sunshine on a cloudy day! What a beautiful comment you gifted and I am grateful for you!๐ค๐
Painful and so beautifully expressed, Annabel. โจ๐น๐
