Awkward silences,
bitter like a bag of lemons
hang over you,
reminding you
that life could be different.
You find yourself
dry
in a pool of bath water,
because nothing
is ever as it seems.
Shadows and expectations
are two biggest enemies
of mine.
– Chatty Owl –
nice…
i hate expectations
Shadows and expectations are best friends then, aren’t they? Life would be blindingly bright, and flat all the time without them.
You need a bit of everything in your life, that’s for sure.
The pull of what was
The draw of the heart
The breaking open of the chasm between.

Hi there. I haven’t seen you post in awhile, of course I’ve been sporadic in my visits. Lovely poem ChattyOwl. Hope all is well with you! (◡‿◡✿)
All is well indeed, just a lack of time to do things, write and be around. I miss this community, but life gets in a way. Hope you are well too đŸ™‚
