Margo



June 14,1946 - May 18, 2011


A rainy, desolate, melancholy day
heavy emotions erupt without notice
lips taste the wetness
warm, salty, abiding
with restrained precision I swallow sadness
breathe deeply, in control
lucid nostalgia immerges 
and
it rains all over again

    Thank you Clarence. Creativity can sometimes be the only lifejacket in a torrid sea of emotions.

    Such an untimely death!
    Your little poem brings out the sadness in Nature and in your soul: rain and darkness outside, emotions and nostalgia inside you.
