what essence
have I left behind
to places here I love
don’t think me gone
– don’t think
you are alone
how could you know
of something more
than moments yet to grieve
a heart designed
to hold the love I leave
will hear the faintest echo
of laughter
such as mine
through the trees
a buzzing like the bees
a ripple on the water
flowing gently to your shore
as daylight
thru the window
of your tears
o don’t think me gone
when all I love
is here
in ways
you will remember
every whisper of your name
a presence just beyond
the reach
of dreams
these arms
were meant to hold you –
even now
they warm you so
don’t think me gone
– love won’t
let you go
. . .

Oh Bobbie, words on wings between your soul and his.. ❤ xXxXx
Thank you, Jane. Always, you hear the language of my soul. ❤
Welcome words …
Thank you, Salva. I carried a copy of this to his wife over the weekend. I think a poet’s gift is in the words others fear to hold for long. ❤
Good thought.
Or can’t express themselves. e.g.
Heartfelt and beautiful. The ending is perfect.
Thank you, dearest Kate. It matters to me – knowing that you feel the words. ❤
Another soul leaves to continue his journey away from this place that holds us captive until our name is called. This is so beautifully written, Bobbie. It could easily be one of your best. I can feel your thoughts in it. …Love…
Me
It is a reminder (as if I need one) that our time is brief, and our journey, solitaire. I am certain that part of the blessing is knowing our loved ones are removed from the grief we bare. Thank you, Paul. ~ Ever, me
Heartfelt. Eloquently touching. I am deeply sorry.
Me too, Millie. He was a good man. He sometimes got a bit free with cutting the low branches off my pines, but I don’t think he was malicious about it! 🙂 He will be missed………and remembered with laughter!
we leave behind imprints. You will remember that always….
