love is storm and wind, then tide
all the tears your heart can hold
but i look back after loss of love
and find the days were gone
i see only shattered skies
not a ray of light to find
but i look back after loss of love
and sunlight blinds my mind
songs were sung with words as young as May
but in the mist of summer, winter came
a chill blew out the flame
now the words have haunted suns
ring as clear as they did then
still I look back after loss of love
and learn to love again

passed by a lone sunflower. i couldn't see much these days and as I'm not used to wearing glasses, i, of course, forgot to carry my pair. so i took the high key route which was too bad because there was a rising moon behind it.
thank you so much for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated. i'm slowly trying to catch up with your albums and hope to get caught up in the next few days.
This poem is MOVING. The first two lines...awesome! I guess the next part confused me at first because he looks back after love is lost and sees only shatter skies and bad things, but then he says he looks back and sees only sunlight. .... I was thinking " If I lost the love of my life, I'd miss him but would still be greater/happier for all those years of joy and love." But THEN...I realized this speaker is referring to when you are in love and then out of love...not when someone dies. to me, when someone dies, the love doesn't die. So to me, this poem is saying that he was in a loving relationship, then love died, but he has hope to find a new one. Great great poem! And your photo! I love the high key! Came out NICE! Simple and stunning! Fav
I drove to a field of these babies today.. such brightness.
Fantastic shot!
That poem is beautiful too, emotional
