In the Silence of the Night©1998 Genea Parker

In the silence of the night I come to you,
Softly whispering your name.
I am in your dreams, leading you
Although it’s not quite the same
As the time I took your hand
And promised my love forever,
Not knowing I would leave you
Long before our son would remember.

You live out your days in solitude
And I wish that I could be
Still walking beside you
As I always thought we should be.
You hold me in your heart
As you always said you would.
You’ve never let me go
Even when others said you should.

In the silence of the night...

Sounds like a lot of regret in this poem....and sadness. Nicely done.

Balladeer,

Thanks...with this one i envisioned a man who has died who comes to his wife in her dreams...she still holds him in her heart, e even when those around her tell her, "let it go".
