“by the river”
the waters of the river
shimmer
under the warm rays of
the sun
as she sits and tries
to make sense
of what the test results
could mean
or not mean
mind in turmoil
of not knowing
what awaits
when the sun
rises again
“departure”
the look in your eyes said it all
but I couldn’t match your loving words
I smiled as I gave you my last kiss
and watched as you departed my sight
as the sound of the train faded away

Brief but evocative poems...isn't dVerse an interesting place?! Glad you joined :)
ReplyDeleteYes I'm so glad to come across dVerse. Thanks for reading.
DeleteI love the spill of your river piece, and the possibilities it allows.
ReplyDeleteAnd in "departure," I can hear your heart breaking, to the rhythm of the train...well done.
Thank you De
DeleteAn undertone of fear and loss in both of these. Right now, I have a friend who is going through what you address in the first. So often it is in nature that one can make sense of things.
ReplyDeleteThank you Victoria.
DeleteThere is so much said (and not said) in those test results... maybe when we know the least about future is when we need to know the most.
ReplyDeleteThank you brudberg
