You are gone
And that is enough
To be forgotten

In summer trees
The sparrows
Are sleeping

And who were we
For all our fantasies
To disturb them
At their rest

John,

This is a sad poem, but a wise poem.  I like it loads.

To know the sparrows
are sleeping
is to be outside at night...

under countless stars
and to see your breath
if the air is cold enough.

Enjoyed this, John.

Thank you.

You express so much so well with so few words.  This is one of my favorites of those I have read.

"Wow" is probably the most over-used phoneme in the language, but.....Wow. There is so very much in this tiny portrait, that it leaves me at a loss for words of my own.
