My head
in the clouds
I think of you
Did you know,
I would walk...away forever?


Perhaps there was more
to me than you,
would ever realize?


I think back today
upon that day
as I walk,
choking on my pride


God's will be done
standing on the ledge
afraid to jump
somehow I feel
I'd miss you more then,
than even now.


Somedays,
I hear you in the wind
Sometimes,
I swore that you were there
that I could even smell you,
but you...had only come and gone
leaving a deep scar,
for remembrance


Your love
taught this one well
for today I stand alone
while you remain
on your throne
and I, have become...an Island

Dennis,

Oh my....this is one of your best.
Touches me deeply. An island, yes,
and I now understand a little more about myself.  Thank you for this
insightful poem.


Warm regards, Pat

The surrealisms of life can sometimes alter our course and set us adrift interminably... Your reflections serve your writing well, DH... Nicely done..

Dennis...Enjoyed. We all seem stranded on our own island from time to time, I hope that soon you get rescued and your heart smiles again...Paul
