Waterfall of Ache

Our prompt for today was a little different, so you're getting something a little different from me.
This music (not the picture) was supposed to inspire our writing. Thanks for trying something new Leah!



I watch as the water drops
down
together, apart;
it drips, drops
down
dragging
my heart,
pulling time,
a waterfall of ache.
It ripples the depths of the blue, deep pool
though still in the farther  reaches
like memories in a stagnant mind.
She was mine once.
As we met
in the sweet, dusky pith;
the trees our stanchions,
our guardians.
The water drips—
her memory,
all that is mine—
drops
down.



Deb's is a lot happier and more stomach flipping that mine. You should check it out.
