He Calls To Me He calls to me in haunting words Revealed in rhythmic poetry And in the stars so late at night Placed on display for me to see He calls to me in open skies Where clouds are laced in fields of blue And from the depths of misty dreams Where once again we are, us two He calls to me in sunset’s hour As the day succumbs to night And in the early morning hour I hear him with the dawns first light He calls to me in autumn’s foliage Donned in hues of brown and red And every word I now hear spoken Reminds me of the things he said He calls to me in distant thunder When rain drops fall to quench the earth And in the wail of newborn babies Crying shortly after birth He calls to me in oceans waves Crashing gently on the shore And in the quest of hidden secrets Locked behind each waiting door He calls to me in music notes In the depth of treble cleft And even now I hear his voice Calling like he never left Oh, he calls to me, I call to him In hopes to someday find He and I, once more together In someplace but my mind "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me , this has always been enough." ~Nicholas Sparks from The Notebook |

Ruth: I am positive that more than just a few of us will relate so well to this but I doubt many could have said it as well as you..  HUSG Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream... |

Ruth, this is very well done and sad. The mind can hold such beautiful memories of happy times--so can the future bring. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Ruth, this is truly wonderful. It has every ingredient an excellent poem should have and is almost haunting in its melody. Much applause from here. |

Hoot, I sit at home and felt your poem. It set my mind to fly and roam. and I thought about the things I said And the things I read, put mine to bed. And I think you have enlarged full part, The little poem that I did start. *L* SY |

Though I'd be repeating what others have said, this poem is beautiful, Ruth. It has a tinge of sadness and an ample amount of truth. I'm glad you were inspired!  |

well written....the rythm and verse flow well...the descriptions of nature draw me in. A real longing for one not physically present comes through. It's a keeper.... |

Hoot, I don't know how I missed this poem. It is exquisite. I was searching for another of your poems and came across this one. But I will find the other because I wanted to bring it up again. But this one is also worth a second read, Liz |
