I Wonder

My June challenge poem. Better late than never.


I Wonder

 

As I lie in the winter morning dark

and feel the warmth from your side of the bed.

In between the dreams and

the tossing and the turning

 

I wonder, do you yearn for the woman I used to be

whilst still loving the one I have become?

This resonates with me. I wrote on this challenge but too late to post

John. It doesn't matter when you post in regard to the Challenges. They still appear in the Challenge segment

Vulnerability makes us ponder questions unasked for fear of the answers. Liked this thought provoking little wonder.

Yes, surprisingly common thought, concern and may I add understandable. Not confined to the ladies, mine comes from a place where I'm slowly stripped of my status, purpose and sense of worth. I did a totally different poem, same subject. many, many years ago, called 'Turn away' it's also in song, not as good as yours tho Ali'!
