I asked you about the weather,
You asked if I was sleeping.
Neither of us touched the truth
Pressed hard against the glass.
Time was called, our red eyes met
But our skin was not permitted.
I hope you know I miss you β and all your ways.
When the Soul Cried Out for Meaning
I asked you about the weather,
You asked if I was sleeping.
Neither of us touched the truth
Pressed hard against the glass.
Time was called, our red eyes met
But our skin was not permitted.
I hope you know I miss you β and all your ways.
I am my poetry, my poetry is me. I pray what I believe. I believe what I pray. View more posts
What a beautifully restrained and emotionally intimate poem. πβ¨
So much is left unsaid here, and that silence is exactly what gives the piece its power. The opening lines β βI asked you about the weather, / You asked if I was sleepingβ β perfectly capture how people circle around pain, longing, and truth without daring to touch them directly.
