Sheltering Love

Sheltering Love

 

To shelter love, nurture it, as your feet shuffle the ground

Each step a challenge, as you watch the clock, tempted and unwound

The stones you kick bounce up in every direction with no sure target in sight

A chance of resistances almost distorts your view and simmers on fright

 

The wind changes, the breeze picks up and sails along the shore of the deep blue

You ponder the thought thinking; the only way to be sure, is to follow until it’s in plain view

The strength of force gust against your face, blinding all obstacles that block your path

You can’t help but wonder if what you see is a mirage or just a joke to make you laugh

 

The water runs wild down the front of your face, creating an illusion, as if looking through a thick glass

You seem to think, that along the way your mind became dizzy and flipped around to somewhere in the past

Faster and faster, the rain drops in front of your eyes and no one even notices you’re here or there

Contemplating, in the shadows of each tear, a memory, but questioning, does anyone really care?

 

The warmth from the sun spotlights a new feeling that you never noticed before

Another avenue has open up somewhere, while wiping your eyes you see a large door

Reaching for the knob, you feel the exhilaration from your fingers all the way to your toes

All the time the love you sought, in your most wildest dreams, had been sitting, beneath your nose

Great feeling and flow of emotion in this piece.. I think alot of people are feeling this right now.. if some mismanaged money and hid it or the pressure of losing investments hits home.. we temporarily feel alone and like nobody understands what we are going through and sometimes also think no one loves us.. it may just not be the "high" love like when things are going great. Thank you so much for sharing .. look forward to reviewing some more from you!

Oh Mr Ralphy on a sentimental streak here... a very romantic write... it is true that so often the one we seek is right in front of us but we are already to close to them to notice.
