L'aura del Campo

by Kåre Enga in Montana

Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #982524

Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.

L'aura del campo

'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣

Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th 2009, Missoula, Montana

L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

Legerdemain I just wanted to write something... but in re-reading this it touches on some truths. IRL we are very different and it did work out in many ways. Just not like expected.

One added note. I don't have to like a prompt to be able to write to it.

Nice depiction of regrets.
Going back to the year, the month, even the day you made that choice probably wouldn't change the outcome.
I try to be selective and remember the happy moments and leave the regrets in the past.
Be well

Wordsmitty ✍️ I wrote this before noticing The Cramp's prompts whilst listening to the song. Didn't like either, so imho, nothing lost. I suspect I didn't burn bridges but even bridges need maintenance and sometimes the road ends on the other side or goes nowhere. I cherish what I learned.

Very nice. It's good to hold onto those feelings, but don't let the what-ifs become obsessive. Look forward but be glad for what was. (I didn't listen to the song, but would that matter?)

This certainly cheered me up! I hope it did the same for you.

I relate -- and appreciate the reminder to let sunshine save me!

It needs tweeking. Short lines can be a headache; little room for maneuvering. It's got a cadence, so; yes, it could be a song. The 'conflict' is ending on one long sad fading note. I'm conflicted as to what I do next.

So much pain conveyed, effectively with such sharp short lines. Nice.

Too slow or too swift?

Thoughts based on Taylor Swift's song... that I didn't like.

Midnight Rain

I was midnight; he was sunshine.
He basked in the heat; I wanted rain.

He needs certainty. I want that too.
But he wanted yesterday, today,
and tomorrow to stay the same.
I needed change.

24 days was not enough.
24 months was far too much.
But in 24 years I'll be dead,
long past the pain.

He was daylight, making me breakfast.
I was midnight, listening to him snore.
I was happy. Why did I want more?

He was sunshine with a golden heart.
I was silver, shadow of the moon.
I love him still. Did I leave too soon?
