Picture by Alan Ayers

* * * *

I come here to be near you
For it's as close as I can be
I bring flowers from my garden
There is no one here but me

In this place of quiet contentment
The birds sing the sweetest song
As I struggle with my feelings
Still not believing you are gone

I only stay here for a while
Maybe a moment or two
As I'm lost in my thoughts
Whilst remembering you

I turn and walk away
Trying not to shed a tear
An invisible arm surrounds me
And I feel your presence near


I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Hauntingly beautiful! Chris

It's all about letting ourelves feel,
even when it becomes too much.
And in doing so, we hold onto the thoughts
that keep us close in spirit.  

Nicely done Sue~

Your poem conveys the serenity born out of the awareness that we are always close ...
Very beautiful.

(big huggggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, our loved ones are always keeping us warm like a scarf around your neck in the winter and they will always guide you with warmth and light and be one as free as the wind! (sigh) I send many special hugs your way, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
