I can never tell you
About that day…
It was the death of gravity, a falling
Away,
Unspeakable, unspeakable
Is all I can say, forever
It’s unspeakable
And the worst day.

About that day…
It was the death of gravity, a falling
Away,
Unspeakable, unspeakable
Is all I can say, forever
It’s unspeakable

powerful and disturbing ….
Thanks, Christine – having to grapple with the consequences of our decisions is part of being human.
oh yes, the things that bother me the most are so little … such little omissions of kindness or forgiveness or overlooking … a missed opportunity to show love and understanding instead of, say, annoyance or intolerance … now i wonder why and hope not to miss the next chance!
So true, Christine – if we are aware, we can learn from our foibles and mistakes.
Yes, very dark and sorrowful.
From a dark, sorrowful place – thanks for your comment, Gilly.
Are you okay?
Yes, Jules, I am fine – thanks for your concern. xx
Yes, are you alright?
Yes, Gita, thanks for your concern. Xx
Good to know that you’re okay!
Powerful poem, made me recall 1 or 2 similar days of mine. :)!
Hope that the past recedes from view . . . soon.
Some things never really go away, do they? We just have to live with our choices as best we can. Thanks, Nancy.
Sounds too dreadful for words. ;(
I think many of us know moments like these, AD.
Unfortunately, this is very true. xx
Such dark tones to these lines.
From a very dark place, Charles – thanks.
And thank goodness for poetry, for the expression we can find only there. And this poem I have read here before, in other guises. The “not looking back to wave” is a torment, expresses the lack of choice or regret.
Your comment squeezes my heart, Monica. Thank you for your depth of insight and support. And, yes, thank goodness for poetry!
Bluebee, I’ve been thinking about this. Not looking back could express a great deal of regret.
Yes – that is it exactly…
love the line – it was the death of gravity – love it BB
Thanks, Jo.
Beautiful poetry written in the darkest of moments…
Thanks, Dianne.
Very dark and disturbing.
Life gets that way at times, but on the balance, it’s mostly light…
Good!
😀
Intriguing and worrying. Excellent.
Thanks, Tilly.
Scary, BB. Too bad to discuss. Hide it in the dark. That’s not the way, girl. Put it in the sunlight. I hope you can.
I guess some things are just what they are, Adee, no matter what light we attempt to view them in. Thanks.
a worst day is never a fun day.
may you have better days
Thanks. You too, Amira.
My immediate thoughts were of September 11, 2011
I’m sure that is the case for many people, Don.
such lightness in the rhythm BB, and such a startling poem.
Thanks, G
Hmmm very powerful… hope it was resolved or healed…
Thanks, Elizabeth xx
