Summer Splashes

There is nothing happy to write
I regret that 

Of course, I see the children
Out there at play
Hot sun beams bouncing off
blond mops
Turning the dark heads
copper
And oh, such a rich rich red..
Life and innocence in all its
colour, screeching in the
summer street

I see the flowers weary and
parched, yet...
Managing, bravely, as they wilt
in the heat

I feel the god given breath
In out and in out

And I try to be grateful and
smile

Then I catch my reflection
Full of deadness and doubt
Feel... that... question arise
What's this life all about

What a visual , beautiful description as it highly resonated , maybe … just maybe 
Some of us are sponges of pain to absorb so the copper heads don’t have to . BEAUTIFUL and relatable write Marion.

Sometimes happy, sunshine days can actually make the broken hearted feel worse. They shouldn't do but they do. Hugs for you Marion x
