Hues

Have you ever felt a piece of music fill your soul and make you warm within... spread in you and end in a smile on your face? As the notes unravel and fill you... you are in a state of joy... nourishing bliss.
Have you ever heard someone talk to you, say the things deep within you in just as many words and so simply that you were shocked? And then it hurt, so much that you cried. For this person knew what you'd been all about for a good time now... and said it so simply the beauty made you wince with pain.
Have you ever looked at the rain or the sun... sitting alone in a room somewhere... thinking about some other place and time when it rained the same... or the sun was just this bright..just this warm... and you felt filled with longing to go back. For you longed not for what felt unchanged but what was different then.
Have you seen the clouds lately and how they change color? Or the color of tea, hot and steaming in your cup? People's faces in a train, bus or on a signal... speaking volumes. And that silence can be very uncalming sometimes.
Emptiness when something does not get closure. I know I have to go back to all those places, people... see it all again. I have to walk the same roads, try look for the trees that were, climb those stairs and if possible, get into that house and touch those walls again. They will have new people, different faces living there now. I'd like to gather all that's mine... spread out both arms and gather it within and walk back. I'd like to take the story to its closure... complete it. And breathe.
