tim's Bits and Pieces - 26. A Walk on the Riverbank

Sad but very powerful 

Words fail.  

❤️ .. 

Sad, but beautifully written. Thank you.

there was no choice. - critical words

You cannot help who you love. There is never any question in here about your love being returned. And yet, is not the one we keep at arm's length the one we keep there, we do not let come closer? In your verses the universe is blamed for not letting him come closer... 

The ache I feel is real and I know you feel it also;

How can you know that about him, too? unless you just believe that about him instead of knowing. Maybe this is due to the dream it originates from...

Strong feelings but no certain conclusions. Like life is sometimes....

Tim, this is beautiful. I can see memories of what seems so far ago, along a river walking on stones. I'm relieved it was a dream, though that doesn't diminish the sadness in the least. Hugz to you my friend.

your comments are well thought out and insightful ... sometimes we need to keep people at arms length.. even though the feelings are there... we can't always have all we desire in this life.. as you say... thank you for reading and your comments xoox

Your poem radiates sadness. I hear your cry, and my heart and hands are extended to you, my brother.

thanks Parker .. i didnt mean for it to be so sad.. but i guess it is.. xoxo

It took me a while to find the right words to say. While a part of me feels the sadness that others have expressed, I also see the hope and love captured in it as well. The hope that one has that they have met in a previous life. The love that is behind the sadness; to feel that deep of a sadness one must have a deep love of the person as well.

I feel that you captured the visual of walking along the dry river bed, and the river stone very beautifully.

Fantastic poem.

boy, I usually read your poems aloud. This one is beautiful, sad and difficult.  You would have to have a heart made of stone in order not to be affected by this. Very moving.

thank You, Sir xoxo

This was very moving. Your words are beautiful as ever, tim. ❤️
