You wanted to
I know you did
Walk away
Hide
Pretend
I didn’t exist.
There’s pain in knowing
Forbidden love.
Not for you
Old lady
Walk your dog
Know your place
Your position.
Love?
HA!
What’s that?
You’ve had your day.
Go fishing,
Write up your recipes
Have a nap
Walk away
Forget what might be.
I’m an addiction
Babe
Are you insane?
Watch the sea roll in
As exciting as it gets
When age shuts you down
Can you feel?
Can you love?
Are you the walking dead?
Why did you wake?
One rainy Sunday morning
Snuggle with me?
Find out
There’s still a spark,
All’s not lost.
At the back fence
Watching sunsets
With that lyric in our heart
Reminding us
We are still here.

“Tears, of course,” she said. “I am so happy you have the snuggles, the sunsets, the lyric in your heart. And the ability to get me all emotional every time.”
Oh dear I did it again….I think showing emotion is a good thing, shows you aren’t dead…
Teasingly, she said, “Do zombies cry?” But, continued, “you are right about showing emotions.”
Keep it up you never know where it might take you…
Beautiful, Michael. Getting older doesn’t change what’s inside…though it can slow it down a bit. 🙂
Yes Cathy it can and give us more opportunity to consider how delightful it all can be.
We need to embrace each season of our life…
Yes …. I was reading the tags you chose to “place your post” …. resilience …. indeed …. the embracing of “truths” in realities …. it would be far easier for most, sometimes, if we could just stop resisting under whatever ridiculous and silly pretenses we “believe” to be right. Nature is nature …. and it runs through as from the first breath, until the last.
Loved the tone and flow of this Michael 🙂
Thank you Pat, incite full as always.
Such a fierce & passionate write 🙂
Lots of love,
Sanaa
