You will forever be for me
A ghost or a shadow
Hovering by
Always remembered
But never near enough to touch
The longing and memory of you
Will be with me every day
Even though sometimes
Much of the time
These longings and memoies
Will fall into forgetting
Like a heavy stone
That falls into a stream
There may always live inside of me
This ache
At times my heart will break
Open with the sadness
Of all you lacked the capacity to give
And today I realised
That for my heart
There may never be
An absolute healing
But never the less
Day by day I try my very very best
To make my peace
With all of this.

These lovely poetic lines are ringing tunes in my heart Deb…
“These longings and memories
Will fall into forgetting
Like a heavy stone
That falls into a stream”
Thanks so much Ivor.. did you have a good day today? It was overcast here.. I’ve been taking it quietly. hugs ((–))
I’ve had a very busy day Deb… starting this morning by helping out at a charity/fund raiser barbecue, and then to my Cafe for a coffee and cake, some grocery shopping on the way home, and now making Dinner…. and yes It’s dark and stormy here, starting to rain.. ((Hugs))
That sounds a great day Ivor.. enjoy the rain we need some here… 🙂
It’s still very warm and muggy, and I think the rain has stopped. but my curried sausages were yummy, the leftover sausages from the Barbecue… Wow… I just got a message from the organiser of the barbecue, we ended up with a $1300 profit, a fantastic result.. 😉😀🌏
