Empty Jack
~~~
A distant sail on evening's set
no color binding form
an empty Jack
where you once sat
and kept my shoulder warm
~
Transparent
stripped
reminders gone
no keepsakes marking time
no lost refrain
or captive song
depletes infectious rhyme
~
Revoking nights
of shameless play
beneath a comber wave
where fervent sky
entombing dusk
rent heart to looming grave
~
Conception nests
in solitude
o'er seabird casted songs
born in mist
of crashing swell
adieu ...
bereave prolongs
~
In time
perhaps
in your respite
you'll stumble 'long the shore
beneath
your step
an empty Jack
your memory ...
'neath the cork
~

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, as always your poetry is so wonderfully narrative and expresses the depths of your golden heart, yay! I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rex, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
