a path




crumbs between my fingers
I beg for your warmth
holding me now

as days shrink
and delete

water under my feet
a waltz of yesterday
emerging and vanishing again

in the garden of roses
memory is a path to insanity

This is a very serious poem. And it gives the reader a deep thought.

Bad habit now of reading this last lind first--sorry--this one works both ways as well --maybe a new poeic form you seem to have perfected delivering a message no matter how it is read --but, it could also be a road to Sanity--with the right perspective-- as in Willis and Pfeiifer in The Story of US in which Bruce finally sees the US in through her eyes instead of his own. Voila!

This is a gently sad poem that touches the heart of the reader in a way that reflects their own personal experiences along such a path. O for the path that guides us in warmth and sunshine.
