Description
pain
impossible to breathe
disbelief
only one question: why?
thoughts at war:
remembering
verifying
comparing
contradicting
justifying.
an endless, meaningless battle
to the brink of self destruction
meagre clasps at hope
pleading: please, please!
tears
yet only a deafening silence
echoes in reply
then emptiness, nothingness
and finally realization
of broken promises
shards of yesterday
merely wiped away
not by the sand of the desert
nor the tides of the ocean
but by harsh decisions
unexpected
uncompromising
savagely selfish
a heart is crushed
a soul withered away
but the footprints of yesterday
will stay

Your words cut through my heart - and I cry for you my friend. Only one row of footprints, with a second row dissappering along the way...

Very, very nicely written. I can only imagine. Painful. Wonderful photo to illustrate your words. Good arch by the way...just for a little cheer:)

EXCELLENT

Superb work. There is the ideal and it wears away until we get to the real. The shock wears off and slowly that initial question of why becomes less urgent. We learn the answers to a very different version of the question why as time goes by. One that moves us higher, and into a better future. A process of many years.

Have you a limp Carin? There looks to be a slight drag on the right foot. Foot prints in the sand should always be in twos or more, sadness is around if there is only one set. By the tone of your words sadness is indeed around, I hope it goes away pretty soon. Excellent image, profound words. Gentle hugs.

Poignant narrative to accompany this marvelously lit and textured image, Carin! There will always be conflict and war as long as there is life on earth. And I'm not just talking about humanity.

Your capture enhances the very sad thoughts of your poem. Very well put together and remember that when one door shuts another opens. Take care.
