A search for a silhouette in the crowd
Only to find fallen feathers left behind
Strewn on the ground, no message to decipher, there they lay
Gone, a departure, a goodbye
Yet vineyard views remain, fresh on my palate, still
How long will I remember this taste on my lips
Will it ever leave, do I want it to
There will come a day when the freshness of morning will deafen yesterdays of the past
Cleansing my taste for new tomorrows
But yesterdays are here for now, tomorrows too far off to comprehend
And I’m left here treading between the two
Waiting
Awww this is so sad. And something any one who has lost someone or ever said goodbye can relate to. If it’s real then all o can say is sorry and it will get better someday. If it’s fiction then your ability to tell a story and draw out emotion is incredible. Well written on both counts
