sunrise eyes
sunrise eyes
shine at the prospect the promise
of another day of love and adventure
I admire I envy
your capacity for life
your ability to embrace each moment
as though it may be the last you ever live
but it terrifies me too
because I see
my lack of imagination of vision of spirit
and I worry
that it threatens to suffocate your joie de vivre
and I know that all too soon
the time will come
when you have to leave me
before the light in your
sunrise eyes dies
This is wonderful.
Thank you, Nancy
Beautiful, yet sorrowful, tale. Wonderful writing, CE!
Thank you, Brenda, always a joy to see you here.
Lots of love here, lots of uncertainty too. Is this true life?
Isn’t everything we write, Patrick?
Aye, sad eh?
Aye, life, eh?
This is wonderful writing, although sad as well. Hopefully it won’t turn out that way.
Sometimes, David, you know it has to.
Brilliant bittersweet piece of flash poetry – the release of someone you love too much to hold back ❤️
You can’t love a butterfly …

A touching piece indeed, CE.
Cheers, Keith.
You already knew I was touched, yeah?
I love that the man in the poem is aware of everything happening within and without himself. Very self aware, but I guess the bigger problem is what to do next.
Thank you for taking the time to think about this.
Dear CE,
One of your best. Bittersweet.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, m’lady
Damfine writing, C.E. The vulnerability is what gets to me. Something nobody wants to admit: fear.
Thank you, Lisa, I think we all have moments like this
You’re welcome.
Transform to moon, that reflects the sun’s light, and glows each phase, and stay, yah?
Laughing. Went way over my head, Liz!
Maybe mine, as well? 😂
Beautifully sad, and with sounds that echo the mood.
Bobby says these things better than most.
achingly good, mate
Much appreciated, Neil
