There is a moment...just after
we part -

The air holds your scent
in a final embrace.

There is a subtle sense of you
that lingers.

I step into this moment.

Breathing you to the
deepest part of me.

Only then do I turn
and walk away.

Ahhhhh...
Those moments
bring brightness
to the eyes
and life
to the spirit.
Beauty-full.

I have a feeling her scent will linger until you meet again.  You writing is so sophisticated, Ericc.  Ethereal, I dare say...

You do it everytime!

lovely! "breathing you into the deepest part of me" - what a great line - love the brevity of the poem -
you show that much can be said in a few lines

Exactly. You're wise and self-observing, and you have a gift for the music of short, ethereal imagery.

(sigh) Oh Eric, this is sadly beautiful, sweet friend, that feeling makes my eyes sting thinking about it, imagine that, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
