The Growing Distance

The Growing Distance

A Poem by Ronda

 

 

Breezes sigh a new scent
of something familiar as
the wise branches bend
to caress and soothe me
with a kiss of velvety,
green shade.

As the weathered path weeps
rain behind me, the darkness
gains in the race with light
leading to a finite point in
the rear view mirror.

You, a tanned pillar in
the growing distance,
wearing your torn Levi's
with that one hole in
the left knee, trying to
gain bare-footed composure
on a rocky driveway.

Eyes of green and blue,
seeping every thought of
raised voices and sweet
smiles thrown around in
the garden of fertility
that we have shared.

That last moment of you
spilling over uncontrollably,
like your river that has
overflowed with emotion
in my yard alone,will
never be forgotten.

This is very heart-breaking and emotional scene. It also takes you right there to the setting. I like it a lot.

This poem had such wonderful imagery I could see the scene as if I stood there watching it play out. A heart wrenching tale of love lost and stubern hearts.... Really and awesome write!

Wow..is about all I can say. I think my favorite line was: " trying to gain bare-footed
composure on a rocky driveway" I loved the visual to the whole poem.
