Restless Fits

















You left, I wanted you to stay
on a tree swing sorrow sits
memories of you on auto play
our words a match of two wits
unable to sleep restless fits
laughter heals, write me a comedy
from scene to scene my mind flits
to lose one so special a tragedy
shower of tears from creator's eye
falling under a spell not very smart
in darkest hours the soul does cry
lost dreams, held in a broken heart
ghosts from yesterday loudly moan
finding strength in a crystal stone

  2. Yes, I can relate to that drawing of strength from stone. I found one recently that was actually just the one I needed. Thank the Fairies, indeed. ♥

  11. There is great healing within the vibrational field of crystals, worry stones, touchstones--yes, your poignant poem touches on both the cosmic & the heartfelt emotions regarding loss; wordsmithing so good, the prompt words disappear within the message; kudos & hugs to you.

    1. Glenn,

      That is very true I attend crystal bowl meditations and there is a sense of tuning and balance it seems to be restorative.

      hugs to you as well...

  17. in darkest hours the soul does cry
    lost dreams, held in a broken heart

    One does get emotionally affected when experiencing lost dreams particularly relating to matters of the heart. Great lines Truedessa!

  20. The loss of one you love is indeed tragic...no matter whether it is a choice to separate or a death that takes them from us.

  21. Laughter indeed heals, and I may have to write some more comedy after soaking in the pain felt in this poem. What a beautifully tragic story.

      Yes, laughter does indeed heal and you guys know how to make people laugh. So, you are sort of healers in your own way.
