CONTEMPLATION (Tanka)

A Chapter by Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)
"

I wish I have done this before...

I once put your name
On a pedestal, adored
your beautiful heart
We took a different path
Now, I walk the road alone ...

More meaning here than meets the eye can be taken from this piece::::
A simple and beautiful reflection, a memory...while also speaking of time, personal growth, and yet the sadness cannot be ignored.
By itself it stands alone...but could be added to later works too...who knows

Beautiful!
