slipping on lashes

there are these times
when everything slows
and the world comes into focus
so vivid and crisp
and as i reach out i blink
and it all becomes
just as it was before
and my hand drops as i sigh
turning inward once more
finding comfortable shadows
closing eyes now distorted
with tears for a tomorrow
that has lost all clarity

Your continued genius at interweaving lush and mysticism with your words amazes me. As close to perfect evasiveness as one can get.

I think I know that moment all too well. And it's good that the poem is short because it cradles the actual experience of the moment.

This snippet of truth so clear and unforgiving..like a the blunt edge of a piece of mirrored glass..I could see my own reflection and I want painfully to hold yours. ..gorgeous, from title to finish. I wish you didn't know this. ~ Kristie
