Did you forget me?
Did you overlook my crying heart
as it tried to reach out in the dark;
tentatively it stretched out one hand
more than a finger less than an arm;
did you see it?
Did you feel my tear?
Just one small drop, it did not leave
this wet eye, too frail to be displayed;
to quiet to make a splash
dried in the wind before sunshine
sparkled its surface;
did you feel it?
Did you hear my call?
The one I shouted but without voice
the one that never left my mouth;
and sounded so loud here
and so quietly everywhere;
did you hear it?
Gently, murmuringly, flowingly put with a message that rings like the loudest of heartbeats on a monitor.... wonderfully touching and, if autobiographical, I sure hope it worked. t x
Oh love it came through loud and clear......and touched a thousand hearts To fill your day with messages to enrich your poetic heart with a dash of chivalry's Touch in even a gentle man's heart I see.here.........................
Oh David, I heard it allright, no need for voice when words are displayed like this. Surely the message got through? Here's hoping. HG: -) xx
David, a heartfelt pea here. I'm sure whomever it was intended for heard it my friend. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
