Alone I sit in silent thought picturing the last time of you, wondering why your arms have their hold on me, when there is no shadow echoing their feel. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

kind of a eerie feel to it ~ the thought of arms holding without a shadow ~ the hold is still strong within in the mind, yes? Enjoyed! |

I guess this is the feeling you get when the person you hold in your arms isn't the one you love... He seemed to have faded away, and his touch is no longer as warm and loving as before... _,,,^.^,,,_ |

Maureen darling girl this is perfect, the flow absolutely excellent. You write so well darling girl, and I’m always left in amazement. Utterly utterly wonderful, as are you always. The ache in this is described so well, you can really write this feeling so well As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

funny (strange) how the interpretation of what I meant turns out many times to be the opposite *s..but I thank you for the responses... I meant to relay the feelings of warmth and the hold of him being there despite the fact that I am alone..I had to reread my own poem 4 or 5 times to see why the responses differ. hmm ~smiling M |

(sigh) The way you just interpreted it was the way I too felt reading this, sweet friend, I felt a little sorrow in your words but also I felt the afterglow you had of the memories you share with him! (big hugggsssss) This is very touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Ahhh, well, very gentle smile...my impression was that there was a smile there of fond memories, for those memories are held the closest..nicely done, as always is... |

I believe it has something to do with the thoughts that stay with us when we feel that someone else cares for us...so even when we are alone we do not feel alone in this world...James |

This is so beautiful, Maureen... I often feel this way about my father or my late first husband. Its as if they are really still here, but I can't see them. I loved the poem ~lots of hugs Lyra |
