In The Dark

And I looked up into the blinding sunshine,

Shielding my eyes

Smiling at you,

Turning my face just in time

To hide the contortions

Giving way

to tears held back

for days

months,

years?

And I looked brave

And I sounded complete

And I smiled again

And I blew you a kiss

Turning around,

around,

around

Waiving goodbye

Fearing your absence

Suffering your loss

Remembering your touch

Until you were gone

And I was inside

In the dark

Me and my tears

Drowning each other.

A Pleasant Start!

My younger son woke up uncharacteristically chipper and cheerful this morning, wanting to talk! Well, he didn't say much, but he was different than his usual reflective (and grouchy!) self in the mornings. Anyhow, to further surprise me, he played some music for me. This is what he played for me. I share it with all of you, wishing you all a great day. Happy Libra to all!
