where are the flowers
that once coloured
our life?
where are the fruits
that once quenched
our thirst?
where are the leaves
that once shaded
our faults?
where is the butterfly
that once fluttered
in my garden?

I enjoy this. The longing for embodied beauty. I sometimes wonder that it is still all around us. Just that we are either too busy and distracted to notice, or have just fallen asleep to it. Thanks for your work. – Bill

Re: my poem you commented on — it could be the musings of a couple, who knows? 😉

Lost love perhaps? A reflection on a fading love? A conversation to save love? All great possibilities of the delicacy you’ve captured here.
very sensitive of you splash..
