She’s gone
finally
the air is mine alone
though victory comes
too little
too late

I toast myself
demonstrating
the clink of one glass
against silence
bears no comfort
makes no stand

the salute
mute

for you, too
are gone

Aw I hope it's not really this sad in your heart right now.
I like this imagery, though it weeps.

You turned from me
My heart burst into small bits
A sound no one heard.

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Duncan, this is soooooo beautifully sad, sweet friend, I hope this is not a current emotion you are feeling and now you salute love with cheers to your sweetheart! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Duncan, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

I didnt think it was possible...but you just made the phrase "drinking alone"... even lonelier.

Sometimes we need to be alone, only then can we feel our own wants. Best wishes to you

Very impressive writing Duncan. Sometimes the sounds of silence are needed to sooth a soul. Well done. Hugs.
