only briefly i go out of the house today
to walk among the roses
its fragrance
sweet and heavy
blown away by wind
i unable
to really catch it
like a sun ray
i cannot fold into my hand
this is my first day in a month
to be truly on my own
nothing needs to be done
so i cry
not so much
for my father who has died
or for my mother on her own
but more for me
for all and everything
that left me
standing
the music loud
till my head bursts open
i dance, i swirl
till i collapse
i scream
i scream
why did you let me go?
i wish i cried
hot tears
strings of my hair
sticking to my face
my hair
your hand
that ruffled it
don't you know?
i cannot live alone
or was it me?
abandoning myself
always wanting to be free
too eager
to live
to love
hmmmm....
all those
roses along my path

Beautiful post, Jozien
I wish i could say things as well as you can...
I'm at a loss for words, my wishes for you are bigger than just "feel better soon" or "I'm sorry for your loss" or "stop and smell the roses"
Thank you both!
And maybe i"ll just pick rose petals for the rest of my life, mmmm :)

Beautiful words. You are gifted with your words. They reach right into my heart...
"all those
roses along my path"
let the tears come and cry with the rose petals.
love from Faith :)
Sweet one,
You already know, together or alone, illusions and realities, there is only breathing.
You were in Holland, now you are in Mendenhall.
There is only breathing.
xoxo
