Sifting through fingers
each grain like silt
cool, almost wet
feeling salty
as tears slip down
trace contours
of loss in shades
variant.
Each pulse so strong.
Swift in streams
clarity of hues
falling to crease
in trembling lip.
Fading fast into
enveloping stillness
void of matter
dark, heavy
there is a lack
of a shade darker
than that of black.
Pearls from heart
they slip from a flimsy
thread of hope's fantasy
falling through fingers
cool, almost wet,
each grain like silk.
No pin to fasten them...
No protest to gather them...
Author notes
Left and right, each of my close friends and dear AP family members have been leaving, thinking about leaving or already have. I respect and love each and every last one of them, and will miss each one with my heart and soul. While I understand each of their respective reasons..it makes me consider the option of leaving myself.
Who will be my audience? Who can I share my work with? I feel rather catatonic at the moment, I am numbed...
In a list
Please tell me what you think

A well descriptive piece.
I love your choice of words.
A hopeless loss was felt
because you can't stop change, can't prevent its happening.
a poem like this is easily
sympathized/empathized.

oh don't feel so sad! not every one of your friends is leaving. this is a great poem. Pearls of the Heart. i like that a lot!

This is so beautifully sad almost hopeless in its poignancy. I feel some of these losses, too, and others I have come to know. Each must do as they see fit, but all actions effect more than just ourselves and there are all kinds of loss. You have expressed it so well in this poem.

I hold you close Hetha. You are never far away from my mind my Sister. It is true, I will not be back here but I will remember you, and each one of my friends that have enriched my life. You are my sister, and that will never change.

I don't know you, but I sincerely hope with fervor, that you decide to stay..there are more people who admire your work, than you probably realize, and it would be a shame if you did decide to leave this place.

If, we your friends
are the pearls of life

that love you so

this is beautiful. Well expressed and as always, your vocabulary is outstanding. I need to learn a new word every day or something. More than one syllable
