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

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.
