This too was written in my high shool by Jennifer Blazina. It is to me a most brilliant piece and I never forgot it. I often wonder if she still writes.
ONLY ONCE
I saw your face just once.
Only once did I feel the warmth of your smile.
Then it disappeared in sorrow.
I heard your voice just once.
Only once did I hear you call my name
But the echoes soon ceased.
I felt the rain, but just for a moment
Before it mixed with my salty tears.
And I watched you walk away,
Turning your head back, but only once.
A brilliant day to each of you.
All my love and care,
Simone
That is sad, yet beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you re having a lovely week Simone
so true beauty in such a sad way....
ReplyDeleteHi Simone, I see that your wonderful blog is going from strength to strength . . tell me, how are things going on the publishing front, any good news as yet?
ReplyDeleteThat is one sad but strong poem, really very beautiful :-)
Well I've started another blog, I hope you won't mind me putting my link here for you to take a look. Whereas my '1yogi2many' blog is quite specific, the new one entitled 'the fruit of life' is more generic. It covers wider ground and is generally a more humorous look at life, but with lots of tips for living etc. If you fancy a look come over to my place, ha, ha :-)

I hope you'll join in the fun! By for now Simone,

It's a shame to think that with the economic problems facing so many cities that art will probably be the first on the chopping block.
ReplyDeleteEloquent & sad. It only takes one person to change a person's life. I've heard of several who believe that person is a high school art or music teacher. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat poem was beautiful Simone, and the painting fits it so well.
ReplyDeleteI also support art in schools, as well as music. If the middle grade school our daughter went to hadn't supported a music program, we'd have never discovered what a talented musician we had.
Simone, I do hope you told your friend Jennifer what you thought of her poem. She would be so flattered.
ReplyDeleteBisou, Cro.
Aloha my elegant friend,
ReplyDeletestrolling through your blog are such sweet treasured moments for me. I wonder how my life would be different had I enjoyed school at a deeper level? or noticed others and their talents as you have?
It is a sweet sentiment to acknowledge those who have touched your life.....I will ponder this more...hmmmm? you never cease to inspire me,
Thank you dear friend
all my Aloha Love
Brandi

That's a beautiful poem. I hope the poet still writes.
ReplyDeleteI wish schools had a greater focus on art. Now it's all about test-taking and cutting programs.
