Love's beauty and pain can be found in its silence.
its transforming power seeps like water, through cracks
It can grow over time, in the midst of an absence,
filling the void, of what another one lacks
*
When thoughts start to wander
My worries unravel
Disengaged, as a gear, fragile memories ponder
to wonder down paths yet discovered, untraveled
*
Mere vapor, we are
cast in essence, we mingle
Reshaping our thoughts, of tomorrows and stars
forgetting today, with the unknown, we struggle
Carry the distance, like the strum of guitars
*
Memories call, but the future calls louder
Time moves along like the current that flows
Veiled from the past, memories like a powder
The further away the stronger it grows

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

How very true.
Memories call but the future calls louder. That was so deep and powerful! Loved your poem!
You always leave me pondering! love this!
The future is always loud🧡👍
Beautiful piece. Well done.
So wondrously evocative, using unexpected language, creating images & thoughts that beg us to pause & consider. My favorite line: "to wonder down paths yet discovered, untraveled" Not "wander" but "wonder". Not "undiscovered" but rather already "discovered" though untraveled.
"Love's beauty and pain can be found in its silence," is a beautifully crafted exploration of the intricate emotions and experiences that love encompasses. Kelli Sheckler adeptly captures the essence of love as a force that can both heal and hurt and how it evolves over time.
Another great poem!
