What is there left to say?
I am this bucket, holes
are in the bottom.
Some days I feel a bit
more refreshed. The
rains come, then just
as quickly, drop by drop
I am again empty. Waiting
for another touch, even if
it is the morning dew, it will
help take away the emptiness.
Now the time has come
My own tears fill the bucket
daily. They drip out and down
the side of the well. I must
find a way to fall into this endless
supply of refreshing. Push me,
push me hard, make me fall.
I would rather stay submerged
in the waters from the heavens
than drown in my own tears.
This is beautiful, Mildred, and blessed me. Thank you!
Wow…just,WOW.
Very powerful, Mildred.
To Debbie….I am so very pleased that something I shared was a blessing. What more could one ask. Thank you. Stay blessed!
Jea…A WOW sounds like mucic to my ears. Thanks for taking the time to coment. It means so very much.
bobbie troy…Now WOW is my comment. When I see your works, I say your the best. For you to say, more than once now, something encourging to me, it is priceless! I am amazed….Thanks to all of you!
I couldn’t stop reading. I wanted to know where you would carry me. Heart wrenching.
I must apologize for my spelling skills! I should say lack of them. It was just brought to my attention and I am very sorry about that. Thanks not only for your comments, but your patience. I need eye surgery, so I actually type with one eye shut! I do aplogize. Thanks!
Jeanette…Thank you for your lovely comments. You are always supportive of me. I wasn’t sure where I was taking any of us, when I started writing. I write what I feel at that space of them. It seems it took at least four of us somewhere special. That is what matter’s. Have a great day! Thanks again.
You’re welcome, Mildred! And the spelling is not important, it’s the sentiment. But i guess there are lots of editors in the audience (including me).
