I would look away from the page,
letting everything fade
Facing only the memories
of a lifetime betrayed.
Catching my imagination,
you came along
Gathering my thoughts,
making me strong
So that chapter of my life
I could crumple and fold
You have woven a tapestry
Of a life to behold.
With the juices of life
now singing in the sky,
life has new meaning
I soar oh so high.
Sharing our secrets
our future is in our hands
leaving memorable footprints
embedded in the sands.

Thank You!
Thank You for Your entry: Our future is in our hands
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: Facing only the memories of a lifetime betrayed. Quite the Interesting take on the prompt and while reading these lines- I kept getting images of a vase and it dropping- over
and over again- it is like whether floral arrangements were in this vase from the other person- for the many I'm sorry's or other excuses- but shown this vase being dropped several times I am shown a clay or paper mache' mask~
as if of self- appears like the person is holding an image of self- looking at the facial gestures- After reading again- I am shown the man from Home Improvement I think the guys name is Al
but seeing his face for some reason
Now with the words: juices of life- ...I am seeing a male carrying a female on his back- as if piggyback riding- she is wearing a cotton type dress and no shoes- it is this feeling as if they are in the desert- which could be Metaphor or literal and they are just traveling this way for miles- looking for an oasis- or some type of place with signs of Life- but the time *together* significant- it is like they keep
each other company- even if conversation is light so to speak- I am shown he scoops with one hand liquid to drink and she takes liquid from his hand and he puts some in hers - it is like this image of their future- in their hands- whether Metaphor or literal
Love the direction You took with this prompt
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
Sharing our secrets
our future is in our hands
leaving memorable footprints
embedded in the sands.
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Voice
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too
with much love and light~ Desire~*~
