Sometimes things just get lost…
like umbrellas in taxis
when cover comes,
like keys in corners
when time is doomed,
like days,
like years,
like faces
once familiar,
like the fate
you once fought for,
like the dream
you since let drown,
like scars,
like tears,
like hearts once essential.
Sometimes
things just get lost.

Thank you, dear Dami, for this wonderful poem.
So true! How close sadness and beauty can be to each other, sometimes…
Much Love,
Steffi
Much love in return- they are indeed so closely intertwined, like life and death. Sometimes we are but pawns being played. Take care my dearest
They do. But also found. (K)
Beautiful, but sad. I agree with Kerfe. 🙂
Thank you Merril. You are so right- Kerfe is always on it! 😉
I Love the simplicity of life experience wrapped up in familiar relatable images. The love and loss of so much, so real and true.
Thank you Paula. I thought about it on the train the other day when my new landlord lost the keys to my new apartment! Thankfully I had a set so in this case all was not lost!
Ha. Funny how inspiration can strike at the strangest moments.
