A Longing

Yet still my heart beats for days now blurred Two beats were counted, only one was heard We are not even a drop of rain, just vapour United to be once more, no clouds can conjure All love, all liking now lost… forever! Dreams and memories, time tries to sever Like dew-bespangled flowers alone I weep The spray turns to rain, colours never keep No longer will I drink your silvery voice Destiny meant, I could not make a choice A longing and thirst for you I cannot quench. The cup floating in air, unable to reach. ©26/1/2013 David Williams Lines 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 ©26/1/2013 Holly P. Moore Lines 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 A collaboration with my great friend (from somewhere far from me - overseas), David Willams, who has not judged me through my tragedy and encouraged me to continue to write. Two minds thinking in sequence - I dedicate this to my beloved son.

Holly my friend ... such a lovely poem about longing, things that were and will never come back. - No one can "judge" others because grieve This is your grief and we as human beings can try to make it easier for you .... comfort and light up your day. - Sending you a big warm hug, Holly. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
