This Moment – Lost
a thought of beauty strikes me

and I must express it so
but as I reach to grasp it
it flutters away,
a moth,
a feather,
a small white bird
startled by the motion
of my wanting.
my hand closes
around nothing,
void,
and I stand there
foolish with longing,
as if the air itself
had promised me a gift
then taken it back.
and I weep
for the passing moment.
it will never come again.
not in that light,
not with that breath,
not with the same small door
opened briefly
between the soul
and the world.

Smiles are contagious; so are tears; to see
Another sobbing, brings a sob from me.
No, no, good Peleus; set the example, pray,
And weep yourself; then weep perhaps I may.
[Ut ridentibus adrident, ita flentibus adflent
humani voltus. Si vis me flere, dolendum est
primum ipsi tibi: tum tua me infortunia laedent,

"It'll be all right though, won't it?" Jared asked through chattering teeth. "It's just a scratch."
The just-a-scratch, an angry red line along the length of his reddened, swollen shin, was #weeping a greenish, foul-smelling liquid.
"Um, yeah, just a scratch," said Justin, trying not to panic. He looked over his shoulder at Pete, working on a fire.
"Make it big and smoky. We need rescuers to find us fast!"
Meanwhile, he'd see about boiling some water for wound care.

@thepoliticalcat #Weeping can be cleansing, a sign of strength, while stuffing unexamined true feelings is toxic, a sign of crippling mental and physical weakness, leading to self-loathing rage. #Unfit.

#February 2, 1861
#OTD Joseph Seamon Cotter Sr., American #Poet, #Writer, & #Community #Leader, is born.Raised in #Louisville, #Kentucky, Joseph was one of the earliest African-American published playwrights.
His #Poems could be #Poignant:
The #Flowers take the tears of #Weeping night,
& give them to the sun for the day's #Delight.He could also be #Clever:
What deeds have sprung from #Plow & pick!
What bankrolls from #Tomatoes!
No dainty #Crop of #Rhetoric
Can match one of #Potatoes. -
It's that time again.
Looking back, recalling #memories, #smiling at those fun moments, #blushing at #mistakes made, and #hurting, #weeping once more at the losses. As I get older there are more losses, #loved ones gone and #missed.
It's that time again.
Looking forward, no longer making plans or #resolutions, but purely just #hoping and #living while I can.
Bye bye old year, #HappyNewYear.
#Love and #blessings.
