Whispers of a recent past echo in my head
Thoughts of loved ones race through and rattle endlessly
But when I see your eyes in my mind
It’s the only time I smile

A Foster Parent's Refrain

Submitted by on

Author: 

I laid eyes on you in late winter, early spring.
Now it’s late summer, early fall, where did the time go?
Watched you grow before my very eyes,
Saw you smile, laugh and cry.
With every movement or sound,
You learned how to turn my world around.
Now you’re with family far away,
And I miss you each and every day.
One thing I want you to always know,
I will always love you, even though I had to let you go.

The mirror doesn’t lie.
It cannot for there is no capacity for deception
Merely reflects what is in its sights
When I step before a mirror
My mind’s eye is what gets shattered

Friend

Sitting in the dark
Only my thoughts for company
My mind drifts back
To times I won't forget

The crease of your lips
A split second before you laugh
The widening of your eyes
Before you realize my teasing

Now it's nearly time to go
And no matter now near or far
I want you to know
How proud I am to call you my friend

A dear friend of mine took a job on the east coast recently and I wrote this for her. She's a sweetheart and while we'll still chat on facebook, it won't be the same as in person.

Joy’s viewpoint

With a resigned sigh, Joy gets up from the oh so comfortable (NOT) chair that is next to the table in her hotel room. She had hoped that Joey would call tonight so that she could apologize for her unthinking teasing, but obviously he’s not ready to talk to her.

‘Not that I can blame him,’ she thinks morosely to herself. ‘Who would’ve thought he’d have that strong of a reaction this many years later.’

Joey can be seen sitting on the tailgate of his dark green F-150, looking out over an idyllic country lake. The only sounds are autos from a distance as if the lake is not too far from a highway.

Well that was intelligent, Joy. I gave myself a mental head-slap as I watched the two of them walk in the house. Shaking my head sadly, I pick up the half empty beer and empty the can in one long gulp.

‘You look ridiculous’ was the first thought that went through my head as I studied my reflection in the door length mirror. The clothing was nice enough, a pale blue blouse with a small, yellow daisy positioned at the décolletage; a simple black skirt that stopped just below the knees; nude stockings and low-heeled black slingbacks.

I am so glad I ran into Joy today at the mall. It’s probably been three or four years, at least, since Joey and she saw each other last. If I wasn’t so sure about our marriage, I’d almost be jealous at how easily they jumped back into their friendship. It’s like time restarted right where they left off.

I just wanted to say how shocked I was to see so many readers of my stories in less than 2 full days of having them posted. I've always been hyper-critical of anything that I've written, so it's rather surprising for them to be accepted like they appear to have been.

Thanks to all of you that have read them, thanks to all that left comments or privately emailed, and thank you especially to Gwen Brown.

Forty Stories Tall

by Marlisa

The crowd in the park, nearly forty stories below, looks like ants running around an ant-hill. The perfectly sunny, spring Saturday had brought many people out from their winter hibernations, releasing their enthusiasm and bringing a nearly euphoric buzz to the park.

The problem for me is that I’m standing at the top of the building, not in the park, and if I move one step farther I’ll quickly enter the street next to it.

After a long fall, that is.
