Saudades

Lost in each other

Then losing each other

It had to happen. Maybe.

I look up high

My balloon blows, vibrating wind

My heart fills with melancholy tinged joy

Tears in my eyes now of happiness, and sadness

Looking down, surprised

Your hand, it faded

I hold tight and clasp the string you taught me to hold

A bit of you, in me

With me

Your feint hand inside mine, holding the string, together

And alone

I put my hand on my chest

Waves crash – energy from the past, I’m mesmorised

Sand touches my bare feet

I remember

Today it had to come out

Trickling, almost silent, then streaming right out

Saudades
