nice words..they can inspire you to think of long forgotten or suppressed things..
reading this which i did about 4 times, reminded me first of sea then of earth.
both taken for granted, abused, misunderstood and lonely.
but never wavering in their gifts, always succumbing to the aching soul of another, giving it's fruit, it's shade, it's love to the tired..but never remembered, never cared for.
earth has ancient sadness in its soil..they creep up from the sole of ones feet then to the stream of never drying blood.
I know I'm way off..but that's the beauty of poetry eh?
keep it up babe
Thanks a lot for your lovely thoughts....literally you are not way off...superficially this is what it seems like..That is why the words fit in the context perfectly..a person never remembered..never cared for..and without knowing the inside feeling people have taken her for granted...This is what I was thinking exactly when I was writing the words...But I used the words in much deeper sense...it is nice to have some input like this..yep it is the beauty of poetry too...
