Comfort

COMFORT


is the colour of blood when it lingers
just long enough to tell of its pain;

it is the scent of a heaven yet to be revealed,
having left the room before you got there;

or the sound of a kiss not yet received.

It is the feel of grass growing through your fingertips
and the liquid of warm sand down your spine;

it is the beginning and end of all things:
a hello, a goodbye; a promise or a lie.

Kate,
Comfort can even be in the thought of knowing where we can find it. "Different strokes for different folks."

Finding comfort in life's blood is our best line of defense against any intrusion of our peace. Unique and beautifully done, Kate!

It's all that which we believe our hearts can hold. I truly like your writing, Kate. Your work always leaves me feeling something; perhaps a something I still need to find within myself, but it never leaves wanting for meaning.

Impressionable write that lingers in the mind even after you read it a second time. Each line had to be tasted,savoured and digested slowly so as not to reap the full benefit of it. Well done Sweet Kate.
